OSL Render Boole Tweet

[mpazera]

Does anyone ever tried to create a render boole effect with OSL and Octane?
I have to render some heavy slice effects and render-time boolean might be my only option.
Any ideas?

Looks like some folks have been working on this with OSL in Blender and getting some decent results.

Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately while I was learning OSL basics I've found out that Octane's implementation does not support some basic functionality, like getattribute("geom:name", name).
Or I'm missing something?
If that's the case then OSL in Octane is useless for something like render boole.
I want to be wrong about this.

I know close to zero about OSL, other than to kluge some things together by trial and error, but from what I see in the supported attributes available to getattribute()

I think you are probably correct.
