OctaneRender® for Poser (Windows) 1.55 [TEST] - OBSOLETE Tweet

[face_off]

This is the recommended thread for downloading, and posting any questions, suggestions or support queries for OctaneRender for Poser 1.5 TEST RELEASE.

Poser Version
This version runs on Poser9/PoserPro2012 and Poser10/PoserPro2014, on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.

Nvidia Driver Version
This release requires Nvidia drivers 335.23 or later.

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.

Still TODO
- 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

1st time user of the 1.5x version of the plug-in, so bear with me, please =)

Could it be, that the copy and paste of materials doesn't work all the time? Or perhaps it's an user error...

When I copy a material (right-click "Copy <node name> Node ), e.g. the hip material of a V4 figure, which I then want to paste to the torso material of the same figure, the option "paste material ... " (by right-clicking the mat.zone, so the context menu opens) is greyed out, so I cannot choose it. Whereas the option "paste <node type> to all materials named xxxx" is available.

Also, a "mainWacros" window keeps popping up for me, with something that looks like a counter/or an information in it. Saying: "Unknown" with a value behind it, and/or Material" with a value behind it.

No biggies here, maybe just a bit irritating.

I will fix this tomorrow. If you want the be rid of the errors - install the 1.52 STABLE release.

Oki, thanks.

... btw, did you mean 1.50 Stable?

[face_off]

Yes, sorry, 1.50 STABLE http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=38937.

[face_off]

I have refreshed the installer at the top of this thread with:

1.52.0.27
- Fixed issue where materials could not be pasted following the 1.52.0.25 change to allow pasting of disconnected nodes

1.52.0.26
- Disabled sliders when the edit value is < 0 (to allow negative UV_Scales from Poser Image_Map nodes.
