Known Issues
- Prior to rendering a Sun Study, Flythru Animation or Bongo Animation, you must select the Perspective Viewport in Rhino that the animation uses
- If both the Material and Octane tabs are docked to the same panel, changing from the Material tab to the Octane tab after editing an Octane material pin value may lock up Rhino. This will be rectified in the next release of Rhino.
- Octane Material thunbnails will only render correctly if you have OctaneRender set as the current Rhino renderer. This will be rectified in a future release of Rhino.

Limitations
Refer to the on-line manual

Hi Paul, i've found a bug when try to attack the displacement node..
i'm not sure if is a rhino plugin bug o an general bug of the 2.0 version.



The surface is flat but when I attach the displacement node you see a line that crosses the plane.
With the other materials it's all ok..


Thanx!



---------------

If i select BOX in the projection option, the problem disappears....

Thanks ... it's a fantastic renderer.

Fro the moment as small question ... how can I check to know if Octane 2 is the version operating in Rhino? The stand alone version is very clear on opening but is not obvious with Rhino.

cheers,
eric


Cancel this ... I found it.

thanks,
eric

You need to adjust the "rayepsilon". Pls refer to http://render.otoy.com/manuals/Rhino/?page_id=650.

Hi Paul,
i try it, but there is the problem yet....

i try it, but there is the problem yet...

Is there a reason you are applying a displacement map to a flat floor? What are you trying to achieve in this case pls?

Paul

I would add a more realistic effect to the wood map, in this case I could do without it but I have other models in which there are wood counters in a particular way and quieted function would help me a lot for the final rendering ..

Hi Paul

Saw this thread on the max plugin forum..

Lets say you make a simple wall with beveled corners and apply a material with displacement, you have have probably noticed that along the edges the wall will split up. The solution is to put every polygon in the same smoothing group

would it be possible to get that feature under rhino?

Thanks

What displacement map are you using in the case where you have the issue pls? Is it all one colour? And did you try a ray epsilon of 0?

The Rhino plugin puts all geometry in the same smoothing group - so the above is already happening.

Rayepsilon to 0 don't work..the map is a black and white png...
