Hi Aoktar,

1.
i like to have an bigger max sun size than 30,
because sometimes i like to recive more smooth shadows from the sunlight (for small objects)

2.
furthermore i like to see an adiustable intensity for the shadows like 0 to 100%

Thank you very much Aoktar!

i think you are talking for shadow of sun. Because it's only thing can cast shadow. You can affect a little by sky turbitity. Also both request is limited by Octane core.

Hi Ahmet,
don't know it is plugin thing or not. I'd like to define render region area with mask. not just a single rectangle.

yes, sdk allows one region as a rectangle. Multiple regions cannot works simultaneously.

But anyway don't care the sdk limitation issues. Your requests will point the way. thanks to all

Hi

It would be great if mix materials gave correct alpha in "info channel" passes and render passes. It's a tough choice to have either super fast fake SSS on one sided glossy objetcs or render passes.

Also, is it possible to have a special render pass that would replace all objects materials (or objects marked with some ID tag) with a defined self illuminated diffuse texture so i could render a RGB mask for scene objects and also some additional dirt maps? I know its easy to create an additional scene for that but when working on a commercial project with never ending animation corrections it would be great to have everything in one scene.

Is it possible to get support for the X-particles wet map shader? If I have this in a shader i get an instant crash.

I don't know but i'm going to check it.

I encountered a problem.
Given the case that you need different repetitions of your color maps along with your bump/normal/dispmaps, the only way to archieve that in C4D is usually using the Projector shader in the 'Relief'-Channel, where you throw in the bump/normal/dispmaps and give them a higher repeat inside the material, where the color can be left only repeated once on the model.
So, when I have one or several color textures mapped to the UV's of my model (using selected and frozen mesh-parts) and now want to add a generic bump/normal/displacement texture that must be seamlessly repeated over the model (f.e. a fabric structure on a shirt with logos and artpaint), there is currently no way to do that with OctaneC4D, as OctaneC4D seems not to support the Projector shader.

Therefore, I would beg for supporting that important feature or give us another option like a separate bump/normal/dispmaps-material that can be repeated independently from the colored materials and that is additionally computed to the color materials (like the VrayDisplacement-material).

I don't understand: you can do that with UVW transform node and Projection on each ImageTexture or mapping nodes. With Octane materials, you don't need a C4D projector...

???

Could you enlighten me please ?

I have created an C4D-Octane-diffuse-material. I loaded the color-texture of the model (a Shirt with logos) into the diffuse channel. Now I want to use a small Normal-map (the structure of the fabric) that needs to be multiple repeated all over the model. How do I do that with OctaneC4D ?

Edit: Got it.
Via the 'Imagetexture' in the Normal channel.

Hey Ahmet!

I'm new here, and LOVE octane render! I currently use the c4d plugin.

Ok so It would be nice to see a progress bar or less of a hang when loading scenes into the VRAM. Not sure if there is a way to do this but sometimes when the scene is a couple of GB, it freezes my c4d.

Vertex Map shader! Not sure if this is in development or already workable in Octane, but I couldn't find many things about it.

Cheers, keep up the beautiful work.
