First of all I would like to say you have done an amazing job on the plugin so far, it really is great to work with.

One feature that I have noticed is missing is a White Balance picker in the GUI menu. I saw that this was in the 3D Studio Max plugin and looked incredibly useful.

I would love this feature to be implemented into the next version as I think it would speed up workflow a lot.

The color picker doesn't allow you to pick a color from the live view to use as the white balance though. It may be something I am doing wrong, but unless I then adjust the color afterwards to a more extreme value, the viewport doesn't change at all.

Not sure if this has already been implemented to v3 for C4D. But it would be excellent to reset a default parameter by clicking on the middle mouse button. Similar to native C4D. I think this works for a few items, but not the majority unfortunately.

This request is made on behalf of my sore, tired hands. I think there are a few small tweaks to Octane for c4d that would mean half as many click/drags for me and my crippled hands.

--Color Swatches in the Mix Node - this is a must have. I should not have to click-drag an RGB node out every single time I need to put a few colors into a mix.

--Color Inputs for Turbulence and Noises - most of the time I'm connecting the output of a noise or turbulence into a mix node (see above). It would mean far less clicks if all of the turbulence had two color swatches or color inputs.

--Ability to show only the last material in the material editor. When I have a mix material with 6 materials downstream, this can make my material editor confusing and cluttered. Adding the "mix" title was a good start, but I really do not need to see any of the sub materials in my editor.

--Add color swatches to Dirt Map output. Just makes sense. Again, less clicks.

--A switch node of some sort that would allow the connection of the random color node to randomly apply a list of textures or colors.

3.0 is working great so far, can't wait to see what's next!

thanks,

Hey aoktar.

An other idea:

I love the "Lock Apect Ratio" check. Would it be possible to add a "lock relative aspect ratio"? One could check that after dialing in unequal x,y,z scale values, but one would like to scale all these values proportional after that.

I hoipe I can make myself understandable.

Hello,

Can we get an option inside Octane Renderer/Overwrite kernel Settings to force Live Viewer to use this settings instead of ones inside Octane Settings / Kernels?
A simple thick besides "Enable" would do, like "Use in LV"

This would help greatly when dealing with C4D takes, since when you set different settings for different takes, switching between takes does not reflect in Live Viewer, actually it does partially since it considers the settings under "Render Passes", so it acts kinda half way.

Thanks,

Sandi

No. This causes much complexity for me.

Small request,
Can we have the same or a similar HDRI for the octane material preview as C4D uses ?
The octane material background, this checker pattern makes every material look so unnatural and fake (as a checker pattern room is never seen anywhere and unnatural) that it is very hard to imagine how a material looks under real circumstances.
Looking at the material preview icon gives a very strange sense how the material will look in the end, and all the C4D material previews help judging a lot more and look so much better than the octane ones as a cause.


In c4d, Steel looks like steel etc, for the octane materials I often need to read the material description because the icon can be so misleading towards the final result, although they look great in a final render of course as we all know.

We have a lot of trouble with Octane rendering the z-depth pass black to white (so the further something is away the whiter it gets).
Especially when there is no background octane replaces the background with BLACK although it should replace it with WHITE instead. So if you render out something with a z-depth pass you always get black-white-black which cant be used to great effect.

There should be an option to invert the z-depth calculation so the stuff that is in the foreground is WHITE and the stuff in the background is BLACK. This way, when we render something without a background, it makes more sense.

So in short: Invert z-depth calculation to front white and back black while leaving black for no background at all.

Can you ask in standalone forum? This is not a topic of plugin. You can get a direct answer for problem.
