Octane for Softimage 3.00 RC1 Full [Obsolete]

After a long time, im proud to present the Octane for Softimage Renderer version 3.
This release will match the Octane standalone 3.06.1 and it works and is tested with Softimage 2013 sp1 - 2015 sp2.

The project zip contain some example scenes how to work with particle/strands/VDB´s and how to use the Render Layer feature.
Some scenes will be added in the future to show you, how to use the render passes, saves deep images and render baking textures.

I think there will be some issues, so please help me and take a look in the debug options.
There you can take a look into the current generated nodegraph to detect some broken/incorrect links or missing/undeleted nodes.
It´s also possible to take a deeper look into each node and check each parameter. Don´t add/delete nodes!
Also a look into the log window can be useful to find bad variable settings.

A demo version will also coming soon.

Happy rendering and testing,
face

Don´t try to set the motion blur subframes other than 0.
This will cause a crash.

HI Face,

Is there a way to avoid connection to Octane server each time you start SI ?
Thanks

Start SI and start the renderer are different things.
So i think you mean to start the renderer the first time if SI is opened.

SI will start without to connect to OctaneLive. So you can use other render engines to render.
Only if you want to use Octane as render engine, then the plugin will connect to OctaneLive.
You can block it with a firewall, but there will be no advantage in time to start up.
I think it will be even extend the time...

Have found some issues.
One is with motion blur, which needs some finetuning.

The other affects the shader check.
If some shaders have the same parameters, like the 3 wave textures, where the parameters have the same values, a change between this shaders isn´t catched by the plugin.
This is now fixed with a added check of the shadersymbol name, so if the symbol name is changed, the plugin will catch it.

Hi there! Noticed that instances of strands don't work in the current version

I can open debug/node graph and plug them in and then it works, so it looks like a small error.

Haven´t integrated instances of pointclouds, also a pointcloud can´t be an instance shape.

Would it be possible for you to add it?

I mean I can open the octane node graph from XSI and change 1 connection then I get this picture below.

Maybe it can be done inside the plugin just as easy.
