HNY to you too. Hey, you should update your sig...

Done !

Do we have volume lights and import/export Octane scenes yet?

Not yet, we are working on these features to include them in an upcoming build. Of course, exporting .orbx scene files is already possible, from the IPR or enabling the scene export options in the render target root node options panel.

Thanks,

OpenSubDiv broken? every time it crashes.

IPR open with Denoiser on gives me random crashes.

Attributes + Displacement = Render Error (in IPR - haven't tried F9)

Yes, it seems that this feature is broken in the 2018.1 builds. I'll ask the Octane devs about this issue.

Thanks,

This was a core issue that has been fixed for the next RC2 build.

Thanks for reporting it!

Hello Juangon
I've got a problem, a piano with many layers (keys will be animated so they all have their own pivot), everything is fine in LW layout but Octane renders the keys all over the place.
oh and the keys texture is also wrong in Octane but correct in Lw. (one UV only)

If they are clones with its own deformations, try to disable the "Instance LW Clones" option available in the render target root node options panel. The instances are going to share the same base mesh and the same material, so this can be the problem.

Hi juanjgon .

I am an Octane user that I use a lot in my works, the option material convert.

So I would ask the special combos that juanjgon would make an update and improvements to this special function.

Convert also to Metalic and universal materials.

Thankful.
