This is the recommended thread for downloading, and posting any questions, suggestions or support queries for OctaneRender for Poser, build 1.50.0.22 (STABLE RELEASE) onwards. This version is compiled against Octane 1.50 (or above), so see the requirements for that build regarding compatibility with your video card.
Pls do not save scenes with this version that you may need to open with the 1.20 version of the plugin (ie. make a backup first), since the pz3 file WILL NOT be backwardly compatible.
This version runs on Poser9/PoserPro2012 and Poser10/PoserPro2014, on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
If you have a support issue, pls provide the following information:
- Operating System (ie. Win XP, Vista, 7, 8)
- 64 bit (Msg me if you need 32 bit)
- Amount of RAM
- Graphics Card(s) - model (ie. GTX 580, 3GB)
- Nvidia driver version
- Poser version (Poser -> Help -> About Poser) - list the build number (eg. 9.0.3.23027)
- OctaneRender for Plugin version (ie. X.XXa)
- Also have ready a copy of the octaneplugin.log and cuda.log file from your Poser temp direction (Poser -> Edit -> General Preferences -> Misc tab to find the temp directory)
- config.xml, which is in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Poser Pro\9 for Poser 9/2012 and C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Poser Pro\10 for Poser10/2014.
Change Log from release 1.37.0.21
- Compiled against Octane 1.50
- Added option to popup a confirmation screen when closing the Viewport
Still TODO
- Allow Pasting to disconnected nodes
- Image sequences are not currently working
- Implement subd processing for props (only implemented for figures at the moment) - will require a Poser SR patch
- Specular map image power defaults to 1 at the moment for skin materials with specular maps. Probably should be about 0.2.
- Export materials to OCM format
- Fix when camera zOrbit is non-zero, AND using large xOrbit and yOrbit values puts the Octane camera out of rotation synchronisation
