Format: v<Octane engine version> - <plugin version>
This is the test release with new features implemented, so some issues are expected. Please report the bugs in the "Bug reports" section.
Changes of the 4.0 version
- Implemented the support of "Time" settings of standard BitmapTex when it is connected to any of Octane image textures. "Sync Frames to Particle Age" currently is not supported - this needs the support on Octane rendering core level.
- Implemented advanced file sequence settings for Octane image textures and volume object. The "digits number" setting only makes sense when direct file sequence is used (not an IFL file). The "end condition" makes sense only when IFL file is used. The "start frame" and "playback rate" are used in both modes.
- Textures preview now respects the timeline position when generated.
- Implemented the distribution visualisation for Octane IES lights having target. See the new "IES distribution visualisation" section in Octane settings.
- Minor fixes and improvements...
