I would like to see (if not already there!):
Re-import/update mesh button (for obj`s edited externally) or right click & choose re-import mesh.. while preserving mats previously applied in Daz Octane Plugin.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delay objects in material browser from auto expanding so quickly when passing over them with a mat from the live DB selected during drag n drop,
I find mats getting applied to the wrong obj after letting go of the left mouse button, because just as I let go the list has expanded so my mouse is over a different mesh
EDIT: ooops
could be due to a randomly sticking left mouse button...sorry

(default light environment, new daylight model): Ability to save/load light settings (maybe as a txt file) to re-import in to new scenes.

I would like the option to NOT automatically change the render output windows chosen camera, I am not keen on the way the render output window re sizes & restarts the render when switching between tabs in daz, (IE: from Actors,wardrobe & props to Pose & animate or lights & camera or render tabs) I would rather the render output window just stayed on the selected/chosen camera rather than restarting/re sized when switching tabs that are using perspective view rather than default camera or camera 1 for example. Maybe a toggle button to `lock camera changes`like the lock button to stop interaction with the window when rendering?

Ability to export mats/mat settings to re-use in other projects that contain the same objs rather than having to dig around and re-apply the same mats/settings to the same mesh in a different scene!
Just about to try this but maybe I could export my object (save selected object as DUF) after applying Octane mats and they would re-import in to my new scene with the Octane mats+texture maps intact?

Issues I am having:
On my laptop (does not happen on my desktop) renders automatically pause for ages and then start for a little while, stop again for a while ...repetitively!... due to my laptops specs maybe? Pressing continue speeds things up a bit but i dont want to sit through the whole animation having to keep pressing continue!
Also, (laptop) once I have pressed the `open viewport` button, my scene does not always update the changes visually..
I sometimes have to either press reload or continue a number of times (not just once but maybe two or three times) before I see any changes to my scene in the viewport.
Finally, hows progress going with animating daylight (keyframe day to night) going?
As I confessed, a lot of this will no doubt be down to me NOT reading the documentation just yet (sorry, promise to this w/end) and lack of knowledge
So, please forgive any UN-intended insult/criticisms/stupid questions!
A weird one, but i did a short animation with samples set to 500 (a test on motion really) but when I put all the PNG files together (using Quicktime pro) every other frame looks like its samples are set to a real low setting but the other frames seem to have rendered the full 500 samples! I am uploading a youtube video of this for you to see as you read this and will update this post with the video when its completed uploading!
Edit: Rendered on my Desktop and NOT my laptop that we have been talking about..
Out of innocent interest, would it be possible to make your plugin import camera motion from Syntheyes ? Maybe one of your next projects (after a Carrara plugin for OR) could be to write a script to import Syntheyes exports in to Daz studio ? There was a script for DS3 but it's obsolete now and request for an update are falling on deaf ears over at the ssontech forum
On my desktop pc when selecting open viewport window, the window opens but just says `waiting` (with the orange scrolling bars at the top) until I click reload, then everything works fine!
This plugin is coming on in leaps and bounds, it was awesome from the day it was release but with the update/bug fixes and speed that you are working to make this plugin even more awesome, we (the Daz community) have so much to be grateful for and YOU (the programmer) have SO MUCH to be PROUD of, THANK YOU
Just downloaded OcDS UPDATE v1.0.111.2121 - CURRENT and am going to give this a go before I dig in to the documentation
I could have simply deleted this thread as 99.9% of it IS either my own stupidity or my dying laptops fault BUT, I don't mind looking a donkey if it helps other people new to Daz Studio or the plugin avoid the same embarrassment
in the common tab you can set a max. allowed gpu temperature, and a pause time to let it cool down. the default setting is 95°C and already quite fair. you might allow a little more here. the max. possible value is 105, according to specs of misc. nv chips (there are a few that might work with higher temps, and quite some, that should never go that high). will allow in addition to set the pause time to zero to completely disable this. not recommended though, as it might lead to cuda failures...
