This release is only for testing...
Because there are some major changes, I have decided to release it as a test release.
Strands NOT working for now.
Changes:
The main change is the name of the plugin. It is called now Soft2Octane.
Project managment and path interaction:
The project pathes will be saved as before. In this release, the image path will be also saved.
Sounds easy, but i must implement some string operations to filter out, if an .png is existing. Same with a "\".
The values are stored in the file, Soft2Octane.ini
Here it can come to errors, but it should work correct.
Error system:
The error system is changed. You now become all errors in one message.
This message is render dependent. Means, you can become the image path/name error only if you want to render an animation.
This system can be disabled in the misc tab.
Debug system:
This system writes out all variables and her values, plus the commandline which is send to Octane. Should be the same as before.
New is, you can now enable the option in the misc tab.
Resolution option:
You can now use a checkbox to use the scene resolution. Percents works then with this resolution.
Camera option:
It is now possible to animate the active camera. Means that you have the option to switch between various cameras.
Lens option:
It is now possible to disable the export of focal depth, depth of field and exposure, if you want to set it up in Octane.
Animation on 2.48:
There is an option under the misc tab, where you can render animations in 2.48.
You can download only the Windows 64bit addon.
This plugin works for Softimage 2010+
I hope I have nothing forgetten
Edit:
The three sliders unter the lens options are now logarithmical.
