OctaneRender for Modo (Windows) 1.52 [STABLE]

[Zay]

File/Reset makes the plugin popup with a warning.

I have refreshed the installer at the top of this thread with:

1.52.0.64
- The plugin now works correctly with Modo801 (removed error popping up when opening the Viewport, and corrected the color conversions)
- Added Preference "Rightclick Viewport to open Control Panel" - enable to stop the Viewport Controls panel opened when the Viewport is open (and rightclick the viewprt instead to pop them up)
- Added the Viewport controls to the Setup panel

I have just re-uploaded 1.52.0.64 due to a build error with the first version. Pls re-download and install 1.52.0.64.

Hi Paul,
I have license question.
Otoy said that we will get 1 plugin free upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 does this policy stick with modo plugin? I plan to upgrade to octane 2.0 and since i've supported beta development I beleive it is fair to get the 2.0 modo to octane plugin included.

Cheers,
Vlad

Hi Vlad. I don't know the answer to your question, however Otoy will provide specific upgrade details priority to the release of Octane 2.0.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the reply.

Back to the plugin

1.Can you make a special preview modo for defining materials as octane stand alone has. It will be faster to define materials.
Is this implemented already?

2. Is there a reset to defaults settings button on the plugin parameters ?

Not easy to do within the constraints of the Modo API. The best option would be a mode where the currently selected material shows the preview in the OctaneRender Viewport. Not sure if this would be useful to people or not...

2. Is there a reset to defaults settings button on the plugin parameters ?

Which parameters are you trying to reset?

Hi Paul,

My idea is to have button to reset the settings back to defaults octane has in modo before I do any giggling with the sliders (ex. camera filter, iso, exposure etc.)

Do you need this just for Imager/Camera/Postproc? I know if you add a new camera to the scene, it will have the default values. I will look to see it if is possible to have a button to do this.

I am suggesting these changes only for the octane settings. The parameters we control inside the render kernel, camera kernel.

Also some bugs in 801:

Referenced items does not appear in the render in octane.
It looks like octane plugin now does not know how to read these items.
Also when I transfer a object from a scene to an other, the octane materials are note translated. I think the groups are not copied, because I see the octane overide nodes coppied, but the I get an error that says ... Items x not found.

PS:

Thank you for the right click implementation, made me smile.

You code Paul,!!! ,...I mean rock...
