I set up a list of things I would like to see in the plugin. I tend to forget these until I need them again, so I am posting this also as a reminder for myself
Feel free to add or comment
Wish list for octane render plugin
- Copy node and paste to similar nodes in the tree
- Stop/Resume render
- Warning/cancel option if render wants to restart
- Clay rendering (If that is already possible with the plugin, I haven’t found it. Useful for setting up shadowing)
- Disable mouse wheel input when setting focus in view port (if you go back to the plugin window and scroll with it, the focus changes again)
- Conversion of blend nodes to
- Implement poser texture scaling
- Image rotation (xy vs. yx)
- Default scene name for progressive saves
- Keep previous save folder location
- Use “standard” File open dialog for Save location (it includes “recent locations”)
- Script to analyze scene and optionally remove all invisible items form camera viewpoint from octane import
- Area rendering (not sure if octane allows that)
- Compare current/previous render (slider, like in Poser)
- Save Render settings as preset
And of course the already mentioned enhancements
- Resize option for all windows
- Update config file with actual video card limits
- Easier to configure sunlight direction (tie to poser infinite light)
