Oh thank you PolderAnimation!
That's good to know! hmm I'm not sure if there is a way to do that easily with the tools I have. Or maybe with Python in Blender.. I will have to figure out how to do ^^
Thanks!

Issues consist of Octane freezing during AI Cache, and missing geometry in the ABC file.
In each case if left on, ABC files in Octane RC1 will cause GPUs to disconnect and driver reset.

DPC Latency shows no spike, and # GPUs is not a factor either. Seems that RC1 just has a very very rough time with ABC files.

Could you send us some example files showing the problem? No idea what's going on, because all the loading of Alembic geometry and processing it is done on the CPU.


Thx, I PM'd an ABC file.

I have to ask-
If Octane's Kernel allowed 'Parallel Samples' to go up to 64, as opposed to 32, would it render 2x as fast?!!!

Thanks

Any idea when bloom threshold/tightening (that Goldorak confirmed) is going to be implemented ?

Im a little confused here.

I have the full v4 standalone and the Modo Plugin Paid for.
I also have the cinema 4d v4 plugin on a subscription. My modo license runs out in April and due to this I was going to buy the full version of the cinema 4d plugin in April as I won't be using modo or the octane plugin for it.

So will I have to upgrade to use octane standalone 2018 and the 2018 cinema 4d plugin?

I post this in the cinema 4d forum too in case I was redirected here with my query.

hi otoy,
were you able to find out why ai light creates fireflies with a lot of lights? Will it be fixed soon? Denoiser removes them but I think it makes image not as sharp and detailed.

I still cannot get 2018 RC1 to play FBX animations on the timeline. (This goes back to prior versions of V4 as well.)
Alembic updates as you scrub through timeline with each frame, but not FBX.

We are going to start working on it this month, and theoretically it shouldn't be complicated. Just didn't have time yet, because ...bugs in versions 4 and 2018 ....

But I only have it working on point attributes in Houdini, when I put attributes on vertices it does not work for me. I do like it that it works on point attributes because that is more useful the on vertices in my opinion.


@abstrax Will anything be done about that?

It would be awesome to make it work with Vertex as well (like the name suggest ^^).
I don't have Houdini and I'm not sure how to convert the attributes of my files in other software.. If you have a solution please let me know.

Yes, see viewtopic.php?p=354439#p354439

We just weren't aware that this is an issue and planing to overhaul it with the next 2018 release.

I've attached my test file. The Vertex Color attribute should be "rgba"
I'm wondering how it deals with the transparency by the way...

Thank you! :)
