This is the recommended thread for downloading, and posting any questions, suggestions or support queries for OctaneRender for Rhino, build 1.32.0.12 onwards (TEST RELEASE). This version is compiled against Octane 1.32, so see the requirements for that build regarding compatibility with your video card.
This version requires Rhino5, SR8 - build 40305 or later. Pls check your Rhino version prior to installing this version of the plugin.
This TEST version is 1.32.0.12 (but updates may be posted in this thread which supersede this release number).
Scenes saved with this build cannot be loaded with the 1.20 build, so make sure you keep a backup of the 1.20 scenes
If you have a support issue, pls provide the following information:
- Operating System (ie. Win XP, Vista, 7, 8)
- 32 or 64 bit
- Amount of RAM
- Graphics Card(s) - model (ie. GTX 580, 3GB)

Change Log from release 1.32.0.11
- If a mesh is "Live" in the Octane Geometry tab, it will now refresh/update the Viewport when you assign a different material
- If a mesh is "Live" in the Octane Geometry tab, it will now refresh/update the Viewport when you change the texture mapping of the object
- Resolved an incorrect transformation issue with nested blocks
- Resolved issue where material mix materials where not displaying texturemaps correctly in the Rhino viewport
- You can now select "Save To File" for an Octane Material in the Rhino Material panel, to save an Octane material
Regarding a batch download process of the LiveDb, this will now not be happening, since Octane plugins plus Octane Standalone cache the LiveDb Texturemaps, which should remove the need for a batch download process.
LIMITATION - Sun studies are not currently picking up the correct sun position. There is a support call in with McNeel on this issue
