OctaneRender 2018.1 LightWave Production build 2018.1.0.7 Tweet

This one is not working with network rendering.

As has been said, the network rendering is only available in the Enterprise subscription plugin build using the Enterprise Standalone in the render nodes. I suppose that all these problems are related to the plugin/standalone versions installed.

Thanks,

Thank's, but what happened with the Spectron, we have long been unable to touch it?

Spectron and the new goemetric, volumetric and other procedural nodes are a bit more work for the plug-ins to hook up (as the inputs to the nodes can be dynamic and scripted - like OSL), but it should be coming soon to most plug-ins. Right now 2018.1 has he spotlight, but 2019.1 adds point lights and procedural geometric lights:

Yes, integrate these kinds of scripted graph nodes in the plugin is the next planned feature for the upcoming builds.

Thanks. But please explain to me - Version 18.1.06 just worked well in my lw 2019.0.3, after the update I can’t make version 18.1.07 work. I enter my data that worked on the previous version (2018.1.06) - 'Could not find the required license or your subscription has expired'.
It seems I have long been confused in the types of licenses, etc.

There are only two kinds of licenses for Octane 2018.1: Enterprise or Studio subscriptions. The key is to install the right plugin build for your license, so please, check the license type that you have and install the right plugin version for this license.

Thanks,

Ok, but why did you post the link to the one that doesn't work with network rendering ?
It says "Standalone 2018.1 Enterprise subscription version for the network rendering nodes" but it isn't working.
I do have enterprise subscriptions.

I am back to 2018.1RC6 DLL version 5000007. This works with one master and two slaves.

Are you telling me I can't use my nodes anymore with 2018 versions ? I have 11 GPUs sitting there.

Boris, but do you have the 2018.1 Enteprise plugin installed in LightWave, the 2018.1 Enterprise Standalone installed in the render nodes, and all your licenses updated to the Enterprise subscription license? As far as I know this is what you need to work with the network rendering, but if it doesn't work, please send an email to the support team to check with them what happens, because as far as I know the Enterprise licenses support a lot of GPUs and the network rendering feature.

Thanks,

Hey Juan, im not seeing the proper *zip for the 2018.1 render nodes (LW)
The current list only has an .exe for the main octane standalone.

All the 2018.1 Standalone builds are always posted in the releases subforum. This is the latest one:

I have 2 enterprise licenses.

This one is not working with network rendering.

Subscription builds don't support network rendering other than in V4 (which we was a singular test). We may bring it back later. More details here: viewtopic.php?p=360442#p360442

I had to reinstall the node startup .bat files and now it is working with network rendering.

Ah, Ok. Great! Thanks Boris. I'm glad that the problem is fixed now.
