Well done !
Does the hyperwoxels system render with your plugin ( sprite, surface, volume mode) ?

Octane can't support volumetrics from CPU render engines, only it's own volumetrics (when available)

What you can do is simply use octane to render the scene then lightwave for the voxel...
Same way for all other passes. the part that octane don't support can be render with lightwave and then merged in post.

yes compositing is a solution
but Ocatne speed would be grear for this as voxels are very slow compared with other equivalent systems...
Just the sprite mode, which is not volumetrics, should perhaps be possible, isn't it ?

Octane for LW 1.0 also is going to support the LW11 instancing system

-Juanjo

Yes i forgot it! And it is far better and powerfull than the sprites voxels!
You are preparing a war-machine, it seems...

First version of the plugin is also going to support the LW compositing options for basic background/foreground compositing. Plugin use Octane image alpha channel to compose scene over background.

Testing LW11 instancing scene with 250.000 instances of grass patches. As you can see all scene including base meshes and image buffers only need 72 MB of GPU RAM. This image was rendering in my old laptop with a GT330 GPU, of course current GPUs are a lot faster.

impressive !

Stunned!.. Shocked!.. Mind has officially been boggled.

This just keeps getting better and better. Juanjo, you rock!.. on so many levels. And your updates (daily, for the most part) are becoming legendary with us LW users who are watching and waiting - with baited breath. Oh, how wonderful it would be if everyone worked like that. Keep up the incredible work!

Do we have any idea yet if this plug is indeed going to be 199 euros ($262US approx)?
