Will there be an animation render target that will save out sequence frames (png, exr etc)?


Thanks! The new scripting feature that is also coming in Octane 1.5 will allow you to render and save image sequences and specify every parameter per frame of the animation such as the amount of samples per pixel, sun position, DOF, post processing fx, white balance, ... You could also render for example only each 3rd frame for fast previews. With scripting the possibilities are virtually endless, it's very powerful.


Hey, someone proficient in Lua should start crackin' (at least start putting some thought into - and lay foundation) on an Object Replacement Script & a Material Replacement Script - both with the ability to save out renders... I mean, really, how effing wonderful would it be to be able to set up Standalone to render dozens of different products (whatever) and in dozens of different colors/textures (like a car scene in a hundred different colors).. and have it ALL be automated!! This would be enormous for those who do multiple version renders of things. Yes, more of us are using remotes and could control stuff from the beach on vacation and what not... but not having to touch or think about tons of automated renders would be... incredible. And having the ability in Material Replacement Script to paste in (comma-separated) hex colors (for those car renders) would be insane.

Maybe scripting is going to be the only way to get some of the features we want. Maybe Octane team is counting on some industrious self-starters with spare time to make many of the features we want or need, so we will leave them the hell alone...

Do we know the full extent to which things can be done/added to Octane through scripting?.. Or will we not know until after release?

I am looking forward to this SO much...

Am I right in thinking, looking at the render speeds there, that exporting an appropriately-prepared scene to Alembic and then rendering it in standalone Octane will be significantly faster than rendering a scene using the Octane plugins right now?

Also, you mention animated model functionality isn't in "yet" - will it be in 1.5 when released?

Think models will be animate with the same technologie ?

Just Greats !!!


Yes, that's the plan.

It's real camera motion blur, it basically samples the scene over the entire time interval of one frame instead of taking discrete snapshots. Some of the Octane plugins feature subframe motion blur, which divides a frame in several subframes and blends them together. The benefit of this method is that it yields physically accurate, unbiased motion blur for every element in the scene (including rotating wheels, deformable meshes, lights, transparency, DOF), but the downside is that there can be some banding artifacts with an insufficient number of subframes.

The rendering speed of the plugins should be exactly the same as in the standalone. The Alembic format just provides a way to efficiently store animated data, it doesn't affect the rendering performance. It will also allow you to export an animation from a plugin and send it off to the cloud without the need to have the host app running in the cloud.

Also, you mention animated model functionality isn't in "yet" - will it be in 1.5 when released?


Yes, the final 1.5 version will have this functionality.

impressive...
if I have Octane standalone + Max plugin can I render the same Max scene in the standalone without Max?

in few words: can I render several different scenes having only the Octane standalone licenses?

let's say I have 1 Max and ten Octane standalone licenses.

The SDK will have the capability to export an animation as alembic and the materials in an Octane-file.
If the plugins will use it, is another question...

why not, Face? Is it hard to impliment?

Anyway, this scene movement from modeling/host app to SA would be very useful!

NEW : Preview of OctaneRender 1.5 Per object visibility

Postby RayTracey » Mon Nov 25, 2013 5:47 am

Howdy folks!

OctaneRender 1.5 is coming soon and in this post we want to delve a bit deeper into the per object visibility feature. OctaneRender 1.5 will allow you to define three types of primary visibility for an object: general, camera and shadow visibility. Each triangle, object or group of triangles/objects can have an ID, which can come from a plugin or from an OBJ file. By connecting the object IDs of a mesh node with an object layer map node you can then assign an object layer node to the objects which you want to control. With this feature, objects can e.g. be made invisible for the camera, while retaining their shadow and/or reflection so you only see the indirect effects. You can also make it cast no direct shadows and you can set its overall opacity, which can be useful for fade-in and fade-out effects. This is shown in the following screenshots and video:

No camera visibility (only shadows and reflections)

More previews coming up soon.
