Hi Paul.
Now that Octane X PR12 is out is there any chance we'll get a Modo 15 plugin soon?
Thanks.

Once OTOY make the SDK available, I will take a look.

I have updated the installers at the top of this thread with:

2021.1.0.180
- Made node naming adjustments to assist with better cryptomatte support
- Resolved issue where pre-Octane2021.1 scenes/presets with a BRDF/BSDF Model of "Beckmann" or Metallic Material/Layer with a Metallic Reflection Mode of "IOR+Color" would not load correctly in the Octane2021.1 version of the plugin
- Resolved issue where an Octane Log message "Failed to build OCIO output LUT" was occurring in some situations when saving a render/animation

If you are currently on 2021.1.0.179, can you please update to this release.

Thanks

Hi Paul,
When using Modo 15.2v1, the Octane materials are not being saved when dragging the items into the preset library to create an .lxl for transferring prepped models between scenes.
As a work around I have been reverting to Modo 15.0v3 to create the preset

Octane for Modo 2021.1.0.180. Windows 10.

Don't know if this is helpful, but thought you would like to know.
Thank you,

This looks like a Modo issue. I have reported it to Foundry.

Hi Paul, OctaneX PR 13 has been released. How long will it take before we can get the Modo 15 plugin?
Thanks.

Whilst PR13 has been released, it will still not run on my system. I am working with OTOY to resolve the issue.

Hello,

I'm getting bizarre crashes on Modo 15.2v1 Linux with the latest Octane plugin. I have Elementary OS 5 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) with an NVIDIA Quadro P5000.

Every time I run the Octane viewport within the Octane layout Modo abruptly crashes. But when I maximize the Octane viewport and run the renderer Modo is fine and renders as it is expected.

I did a further test if the layout is the issue, and Modo appears to run okay with the Octane viewport as a separate palette in the default Modo layout. This is not always the case as I have gotten one abrupt crash from several test cases.

In the terminal, I get this message:
QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to Foundry::Breakpad::ModoMinidumpSenderDialog "", which already has a layout
QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to Foundry::Breakpad::ModoMinidumpSenderDialog "", which already has a layout
Segmentation fault

I looked through some old posts similar to this and there was something that happened with Octane 3 a few years ago but in my case Modo doesn't crash when opening: https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=55078&start=230#p303332

With the test that works as a separate viewport on a palette, interacting with the Octane controls, like compositing, camera properties etc., also causes instability.

Can someone confirm this? Thank you
