Poser 12 has switched to Python 3, so everything made for Poser 11 and older will not work. They will need a new version. People are asking in the forums about it, if Paul will make it work in Poser 12. I would like to know as well.

That explains a lot... all the moe reason to not fix an unbroken wheel and keep using DAZ Studio... oops I mean Poser 11

An errror occurred importing addon OctaneRender for Poser :
ERROR: bad magic number in 'OctaneRender for Poser': b'\x03\xf3\r\n'

Yes, Poser12 upgrades from Python2 to Python3 so I have some work to do to get the plugin running.

I have been spending quite some time upgrading my Python scripts to Poser 12 as well. It's a pleasure to finally leave Python 2 behind.

Hi,
I have purchased and installed Octane 4.05 and the poser plugin. When i'm trying to render a scene in poser, octane plugin answer me for the license. When i'm trying to enter my Octane 4 license code it tells me that the code is not recognized. Do i have to purchase an octane for poser account ?
If so, where could I buy it ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Best regards

Thank you Paul

Hi Paul,
I haven't used Octane since switching to Poser 12, so my memory is kind of fuzzy about how the licenses work. I have Octane 4 "regular", no subscription, version 4.05.0.97. My OTOY downloads section offers all kinds of versions I am likely not eligible for, like 2019 and 2020. Is 4.05 the last one I can update to? I have upgraded to an Ampere RTX card, and it's not recognized. Does that mean I cannot use Octane anymore, with or without a plugin unless I subscribe?

Hi Ken - as Poser12 uses a new version of python, you will need the latest version of the plugin from https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=73536.

Thanks

Like I said, I don't have a subscription, I only own Octane 4. So my question stands - can I still use Octane? The Octane standalone version I have doesn't recognize Ampere RTX cards, so I need to know this before I can consider what version of the Poser plugin I should be using. Is it subscription or nothing? I guess that would be the question.
