I was wondering if, in the next release, you could include some more override commands so its possible to choose the rendering type and define all rendering engine parameters from a bat file (path tracing/direct lighting/specular depth/etc.)

Also, I noticed the Max2Octane plugin shows options for Render Image height and width. Is this possible now in beta 2.1? If so, what are the bat file conventions for this?

Cheers,
Jason.

just look in the pdf manual or do 'octane --help' for a list of all the command line options.

Not sure if I am missing something, but Octane seems to start with "AF" activated when I run a script.

Even if I turn "AF" off in the .ocs or add --cam-focaldepth to my script it always seems to start in "AF" mode on and thus giving me the wrong focus that I want.

Am I doing something wrong, or maybe it was a oversight?

AF is an engine setting that is currently not stored in the OCS.
the focaldepth command line argument is not hooked up yet, it will be in beta2.2.

2.2 will be the first fully scriptable version with export scripts for various apps.
