Octane is not a video editing program.

As the background image is not renderable, and as there is no keyframe system in Octane, what could be the usage of videos :?:

Being able to use background imagery is a big forward step for a more productive workflow for me.

Now, what I miss is, apart from the smart sampling method requested time ago, a practical SSS material. I mean, not creating nodes, linking them to control every aspect, just follow the philosophy from this Tool. Add a SSS material to the drop down list and there you go. You should be able to tweak it if you want, but just handle it as the specular material, where we don´t have to make nodes for refractions, reflections, scatterings, indexes, etc... we just select "specular" from the list and voilá... glass. The same should be with the SSS material, don´t you think so?

^ +1 for sure!... we do have to jump through more hoops than should be necessary
to make certain materials happen... definitely room for improvement and simplification.

And umm... he likely meant tutorial videos... that is my guess. ;)

Well, the usage of videos could be... err... making videos?

I don't understand... Do you mean animations with a plugin allowing the frame increment ? This would require the background to be renderable. Added to that, the background is window dependent and couldn't be linked to an object in the scene (camera for example, or Empty/Dummy object). Isn't it easier to map a video texture on a plane inside the 3D software ?

I think Interfaces suppose to mean demo videos about new functions.
Just dropping by.

Thanks Octane for the update.

Lol yes, he is talking about videos showing new features, not about render to video file.

The old checker board bg of the node graph looked a bit more pleasing.
there are a few broken mats in the live db - one of them "rock with lichen" will crash octane on or shortly after trying to download it (since ~1.0) maybe it was exactly this one...
