Hi Paul,

could you please support dds format as a texture map? It could make a differnce (hoping) in terms of speed and memory. My 8GB 1080 strugles with just a house with some serius grennery. Thank you!!

Hi Nick

This is something that OTOY would need to build into the Octane engine, so you could submit it to them as a feature request.

However if you are running out of VRAM, you can turn on OutOfCore and store the texturemaps in CPU RAM.

Thanks

Paul

Thank you,

Out of Core would be a good start indeed.

I think standalone already supports dds. I think even Archicad plugin does already. Once It asked for a missing texture and when I loaded a dds instead, it worked flawlessly.

Thanks a lot!

I suggest confirming in Octane Standalone that that load and render correctly for you, and if this is the case I can look at adding them to the ArchiCAD plugin.

DDS image file support is in the next release of the plugin.
