I am using v3.07 of the Daz Octane plugin with Daz Studo 4.10. A couple of items are slowing me down, so thought I'd ask about them.
A.
I have noticed that changing Render settings in the Octane main settings pane does not always get reflected in the Viewport. Actually, I cannot force the Viewport to use the Octane Main panel settings when those are changed, meaning the entire scene needs to be reloaded in order to change the Viewport render settings.
For example:
1. I started rendering a scene in Direct Lighting with Diffuse, 500 Max samples, etc. Opening the viewport shows the same settings in its slide-out drawer and it performs the rendering as expected.
2. However, when I changed the settings to PMC, 2000 Max samples and other options, opening the viewport merely re-renders with the prior Direct Lighting settings. And, if I open the viewport's slide-out drawer, it shows those older rendering settings.
The only way to render as I want is to close and re-open the scene - that's getting old really fast .
B.
The "Path settings" are not always retained from one Daz session to the next. I'll save some custom paths for the "Project" and "Default," but they randomly get replaced by Octane default values over time.
Are these known issues, perhaps?
