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

Pls read http://poserphysics.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/before-you-submit-octane-support.html prior to posting support issues.

Poser Version
Windows: Poser9/PoserPro2012, Poser10/PoserPro2014 and Poser 11/11 Pro, on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
OSX : PoserPro2012, PoserPro2014 and Poser 11/11 Pro 64bit, on MAC OS X 10.9.4 onwards.

License upgrade
Unless you have a subscription license, you will have to upgrade your version 3 licenses to version 4. This upgrade is free and can be done via these 4 steps:

To use this version, you need a GPU of compute model 3.0 or higher. Support for Fermi GPUs (like GTX 4xx and 5xx) has been dropped. Also make sure you use a driver of version 387 or higher and if you are working on Mac OS that have a CUDA driver installed that supports at least CUDA 9.1.

Network Rendering
For Network Rendering, you must use the Octane slave release from the Octane Standalone installer which matches the exact Octane version of the plugin you are using. This version matches OctaneRender Standalone 4.00.

If you have a support issue, pls provide the following information:
- OctaneRender for Plugin version (ie. 2.23.1.56)

Merry X-Mas and thanks for the present =)

... I haven't had time to play much with it as of yet, but I noticed that when using a Universal Mat. with Transmission, none of the Transmission Render passes are showing the object. It's all black, unlike when using a Diffuse material. ... May just be a user error anyway =D

Happy Holidays.

Hi - I think this is a general Octane issue, so please confirm it in Octane Standalone, and if it is also happening there, report it to OTOY in the Octane Standalone 4.01.1 release thread.

Thanks

I was wondering why the Octane plugin fails to recognize even texture maps from Poser materials when I use Physical Surface root nodes. Is this how it was supposed to be?
