The alphas in TGA's are perfect - and ultimately yields the same result after separating in PS...
but with PNG, this is already done for me.. and when we are talking about many images.......
please add png32 if you can.
Shit - I think the last time I touched TGA's was when I was dumping them on a bernoulli back
in '94... just kidding.. they have their place.. but they are so 90's!
Are EXR's coming?.. sorry if this has all been discussed.. do not remember seeing anything about
exr or png32...
Speaking of saving images -- sometimes (no rhyme or reason it seems) I can't save an image...
no save dialog pops up.. closing IPR and reopening did not even fix one time.. had to reload
scene (LW - not IPR)... has anyone else had this happen?
You can use any image format if you render your images with F9/10. Why are you rendering your images using the IPR? ... IPR save function is designed only to be used while scene setup.

Sorry to come back on this topic Juanjo, is it possible to make some kind off slider setup (sorta like the property panel in oct stand alone) in the nodal view for easy selecting, inputting capability with upper and down limit where the input has no influence any more, also a range from 0 to 1 is very limited because you have to dail with decimals, is a valua between 0 and 100% not easier to work with?
I will change some percent values to be used from 0% to 100%, and also try to add limits to some values. It is not easy as it sound due some limitations on the LW SDK, who doesn't allow for example floating point sliders (AFAIK).

hello to the forum
i m a new user of octane render and i want to ask a question to juanjgon.
first of all congratulations man i was waiting a lot of external renders in lightwave and thaks
to you now we have octane.
My problem is that allthough i have a new gtx 680 2gig in a machine running win7 prox64
in lightwave 11.5 x 64 or x86 i cant render with f9 because samples it said is 0.
i have try both the pmc or direct lighting nodes but nothing.Octane standalone works fine
but i prefer my lightwave.The Ipr works fine in Lightwave but when i render nothing happens.
What can i do man?
Any thoughts because i dont have a manual of the plugin so i have use it as the octane interface.
Also any possibility to send the scene to octane without saving obj in the future.
Thanks a lot.

If you load the sample dragon scene and hit F9 doesnt start rendering?
I think that there is a link to the manual in the download page or at the begining of this thread.

And the IPR works? ... it is hard to say. If you want please write to me to
[email protected] and I will try to fix your problem. With LW 11.x and GTX 6xx GPUs I have not seen this kind of problems.

Where do I see this setting? Or do you mean it will be in the next version?
