As I said, as I work and find stuff to ask I'll post it here so here we go!
Alpha leaves, no problem in Octane standalone, use a white and black (yup the opposite of the usual) image of the leaves in the opacity channel to mask them out:
But I haven't been able to achieve it in blender, nor have I found a node for opacity
any ideas?
Oh yes, and please don't forget about my camera question
I also just tried the beta for linux and it's working great as well, this is all so exciting! I still don't know where it finds the installed/authorized octane standalone in the system as it nevers asks for a path to the installed version on the system, I feel as if it's using an online-streaming version of Octane, hence the server application and the bigger lag in the viewport compared to standalone?
thanks, and JS Congrats! you're a genius, never would I've thought someone with your cool looks would be so smart!
I don't mind having Otoy compile the blender versions for each new release, as a matter of fact, I think it would guarantee quality control and that the product matches the specific needs of the engine, instead of having tons of improper builds all over the net.
regards, and thanks for any help guys!
