Problems with new release & plugin
Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2014 6:05 am
Hi I am having a difficult time with the new release, here are a list of comments and problems I find.
1. I organize my models into many groups and components, but when i export the models i get this with many instances, is there a way to organize it with just materials where the whole model is export as 1 obj file? (pls see screenshot)
2. geometries/materials often dont sync up with octane viewport after hide/unhide, cut/paste several times
3. material with texture does not sync up with octane viewport when i change rgb/hsl values within sketchup's material editor.
4. stability issue, both sketchup and octane 2.0 crashes way more often compared to version 1.2(where i am coming from) see screenshot. Also sketchup seem to run much slower with the octane viewport active sometimes
5. Material editor for octane within sketchup is a pain to use (text too small, parameters missing), I understand that it is said that octane standalone is a compliment and i am suppose to edit materials there but isn't now i have to go back and forth between sketchup and octane render, which defeats the purpose of the plugin of not having to go back and forth.
6. Cannot use octane sun with the plugin? it's very hard to tweak the sun's position with sketchup or the plugin (no turbidity, latitude...etc). I consider sun position one of the most important factor in tweaking my renders
7. no localDB with the plugin?
that's all i can think of for now and i guess i have to go back to 1.2 for now. Please excuse my poor english.
