Hi! This is the first beta release of the OctaneRender™ 4.0 for LightWave™ plugin version 4.00.0.8, available for LightWave 11.6, 2015.3 and 2018.0 Windows x64 and OSX. This build is compiled using the Octane 4.00 XB3 core.
As with all experimental and test releases, please do not use this build for production work, and please note that we still classify this as an experimental release.
Important notes:
- NVIDIA Driver version 387 or higher is required on Windows and Linux, and any CUDA driver for Mac should work that supports CUDA 9.1.
- Octane no longer supports Fermi GPUs.
- We are still working through a lot of changes required to make Network Render operational. This is directly related to AI Scene and AI Light.
- AI Denoiser will not denoise volumes and hairs yet.
This plugin build has these Octane 4 features available:
- Denoiser options in the Imager node, including several new denoised passes in the Passes node.
- Denoiser device options in the plugin options panel, GPUs tab.
- AI Lights options in the kernel nodes.
- AI Scene and Out of core geometry improvements (no new options to control these features yet).
- New option in the kernels to set the toon shading ambient light.
- Support for the "cast shadows" feature in the toon lights.
- New Nishita daylight model.
