Hello,
so I have no extensivily used the Octane Render plugin now for over 1 month and have a few requests and issues.
Issues:
- Massive ammounts of Octane Crashes.
his is by far the most annoying part of the plugin. Due to the ammount of crashes under DZ4.5, it has become a requirement to save the file after every change.
- Hidden Objects are not hidden in Octane
When I hide part of an object in DZ, the object remains visible in Octane. I only have the option to use opacity on surfaces, but in many cases the surface is used on the whole object. For example, I have a sportcar with a convertable roof. In DAZ I can hide the roof. However in Octane I can only set opacity to the whole roof, which turns the whole roof invisible, including the folded back part of the roof
-Using a morph sometimes resets materials
Sometimes when I change a morph on the body all of the custom materials get reset to default.....
Requests:
- A Autosave feature
I would like to have an autosave feature like in Luxrender, where a JPG/PNG Image is saved every xx minutes. The reason why I ask is that sometimes when I do large resolution images (4000px X 4000px) with PMC I have long render times of 4+ hours. If my leave my computer running all night, only to wake up and find out my computer crashed after finishing rendering. That is highly annoying.
- Saving materials locally (already requested)
- Better documentation!!
Status:
Unlike the Poser plugin, which seems to be getting a lot of love, I have not heard or seen any updates to the DAZ plugin in weeks. When can we expect the next update.
