Hi Simon,
First, let me say, that the OR plugin does work really great. Very good job as far as I can tell
I just noticed some bugs during my daily work. I use 3.05.01.31. Below, I listed them. Those are all minor bugs, so it's not really a big problem to have a work around. At the end, there is a feature request. Perhaps you can make it work.
Multipass render
Images are saved as Bla_passBeauty.png.png - so, the extension comes in as a double team
Scatter object (CSV files)
When several scatter objects are placed into a group, and the group is given an Object Layer Modifier (e.g. Layer ID = 3), it's not possible to render only this layer (=3) in the viewport.
Scatter object (CSV files)
Scaling is a problem. When placing a VDB file into the scene, it has the correct dimensions. When a CSV file is imported, it hasn't the correct dimensions, so I have to scale it. Is there a way to import it with the correct dimensions as in the case of a VDB file (= Fixed scale)?
VDB
Changing a value in the import settings does not update the OR view port. E.g. changing the Emission grid from "Heat" to "Temperature" does not update the OR view port. It seems that it does (because it renders again), but it doesn't.
Some shaders do not work as expected
Some shaders from the Octane Live Database does not seem to work. If I apply the Lava shader from the Misc section, it doesn't look like Lava at all.
Alembic import/export
Exporting alembic files via "Generate Animation" works quite well. Is there a way we could incorporate an Alembic importer? It should just import the file in the same dimension as it exported it.
Best wishes,
Thomas
