I tried convert hair to polygon after to curves and export with alembic exporter from octane, not worked... snifff... Just need to wait the alembic update for blender that convert hair to curves for Octane 2.0. FOR DEV, like JimStar :D Convert directly hair to curves or use the Cycles base, for 2500 hairs (smooth curves based on spline hair), one hour to have curves generated :lol: .

Hi, Matt!

Thanks for sharing! I used Object option for rendering hair with Octane (maybe not the best idea, but it worked for me). Will wait 2.0 plugin for the "real" hair. :)

The integrated plugin doesnt use 2.0 yet, so you have to wait. Also, I don't think you can use the alembic export yet to get it to standalone because I don't think the current alembic exporter exports that data. I don't know though.
It seems to be one of those features that exists, but you can't really use yet.


Never used blender but as a general Alembic note,You can export polycurves hair using alembic to standalone and render using the new fur primitives,it works fine.You can also have attributes in the alembic file for the hair like "width" and pass it to the render,Pretty sweet.
Im exporting hair using alembic from houdini and works great,you need to check if your source 3D package can export polycurves to alembic.

We need now:

A list with ALL the attributes that Octane recognizes so we can properly setup our Hair.
New optimized shader model for the hair.

Thanks a lot for all the hard work guys,looking pretty cool!

Hi,

Blender not have Alembic exporter at all, only the Octane blender plugins provide the Alembic exporter, that's why we need to wait the new plugins for fur, for Blender users :cry: .

Make sure that you either disable the "use priority" option in the CUDA device settings or set the render priority to "high". This will probably not make up all speed loss, but improve things.....


YES it does! Thanks!

Sorry, I still do not get it!

For an upgrade of Standalone + Plugin:

1.) I only click "Octane Standalone v1.x lincense", because the plugin license comes with it for free?

OR 2.) I also click "OctaneRender for 3ds max" but get charged only $ 99?

Developers,
will you address the bump and normal map issue with the octane core in v2?

voucher

This is great news.
Question though...
I just bought the upgrade to 2.0, but I don't see the voucher for the upgrade of my octane-blender to 2.0 when it's ready.
This is included, isn't it?

Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge

Cheers,
Tung

Hi Blender use, your Octane Live Account setting for the Plugin should be changed to Version 2.0 too.
