OctaneRender 2 for ArchiCAD [OBSOLETE]

[face_off]

Below is the first build of the plugin for Octane 2.10. I am posting in this thread (rather than a new one) - because this version contains the corrected features added in 2.6.0.14.

Pls treat this build as "experimental" - so use with caution and have backups of all ArchiCAD scene files prior to using them with this version of the plugin.

2.10.0.15
- Compiled against Octane 2.10.
- See Standalone 2.10 release notes: Improved sampling in the direct lighting and path tracing kernels.
- See Standalone 2.10 release notes: Replaced the path termination strategy.
- See Standalone 2.10 release notes: Added new option "Coherent mode" to the direct lighting and path tracing kernels.
- Addition of Render Passes to the Kernel, and addition of the Render Pass combo box to the Rendering tab
- More user-friendly pin names (these now match Octane Standalone)
- Fixed bug causing opening the viewport to be slightly delayed
- Added "Ignore Further Warnings" to the "Missing texturemaps" warning. Given this is now added - it is highly recommended that you ENABLE "Warning on Missing Materials" in the configuration
- Fixed error introduced in 2.6.0.14

Hi Paul,

I am experimenting with 2.10, which is awsome cool to experiment with
.. in the Standalone you can save all renderpasses, but I cannot find that option in the plugin?

Hi Jeroen - I will add this to the next release. It will save all "Enabled" render passes.

Following is a new Octane 2.10 test build. Again - pls treat this as a test build, not suitable for production work yet.

2.10.0.16
- Added "Ignore Further Warnings" to the "Missing Proxy OBJ" and "Missing Scatter CSV" warnings.
- If a material is detected with a name > 50 characters, the plugin Setup window is now disabled. In this case close the setup window and shorten the material name.
- Fixed issue where texturemaps with special characters in the filename or folder name were being reported as missing
- Fixed issue where moved objects may appear twice in the Viewport when using the plugin in AC18
- Added Save All Render Passes option to the Rendering tab

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

2.10.0.18
- Material Caching is now no longer triggered when opening an ArchiCAD project
- Fixed issue where loading a rendertarget which has the "Sun Direction" set to "Sun Direction" rather than "Float Value" would cause the rendertarget loading to fail
- "Sun Direction" has been removed from the Node Type selection box (since using it would stop the syncing of the Octane sun direction to the ArchiCAD sun)
- KNOWN ISSUE REPORTED TO GRAPHISOFT: Editing a complex profile when the plugin is open may crash ArchiCAD
- If multiple ArchiCAD objects are selected, the "Select from Selection" combobox is blank, rather than containing all the materials from the selected items. If stops the plugin lagging when processing Hotlink file elements.
- Removed the "Missing texturemap...." warnings from the Photorenderer

Thanks

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

2.10.0.19

- You can now select multiple ArchiCAD objects and paste copied proxy setting to all those objects with a single "Paste" button click. USE WITH CAUTION.
- Fixed issue where Rendertarget pins below the Kernel->AO Dist where not being loaded from scenes saved with plugin version 2.6.0.x or earlier

Needs 5 more mins to finish uploading...

Thanks
