OcDS Setup v2.2 (last Beta)

[Notiusweb]

Here's one, OR seems to want to take the whole 'leaves' .jpg into the render, whereas Daz somehow is able to set the non-leaf component's opacity of the image to 0.
None of the parameter sliders in leaves materials help reduce the 'green screen' opacity

Leaves have the .jpg's square background in Octane Render

Thoughts? Thx!

OcDS doesn't convert Iray materials very well. So you need to set opacity maps manually.

This is an amazing update - thank you so very much!

I now feel like I can use the plugin again and that my investment in Octane Render is vindicated.

I know there are a few bugs, and I'm certain that they will be squashed in short order... looking forward to all of your successive updates!

Is it because of the plugin that DS keeps lagging???
I always need to keep the Octane viewport open en pause the render there, even when I have no intention of rendering... And the viewport has to actually be visible on the screen, I can't drag it off out of screen or have it in the background or the lagging starts again.

Are we gonna have to wait another 6 months for a fix?

did we already report we can't export via ORBX properly? I confirmed its a new bug in the current beta

I figured it out. the newest plugin forgets to warn you to start rendering in the OcDS viewport before you export. The 2.15 version of the software gives you a warning. so I learned from that and now 2.2 is exporting fine.

Feature Request: The ability to export a vaguely human readable Node Graph as ASCII, which can then be dumped to an internet forum. Someone else could then cut and past that ASCII into the NGE in order to see what was done.

Right now we're all trying to graphically replicate what we see in node graphs, and its not always obvious what various parameter settings are.

Sorry about that sometimes we take things for granted that there are also new users. Familiarity breads contempt. Glad you were able to figure it out. Thanks for sharing

Major Bug. Stop the Press! Avert your eyes if you are not keen on male gens. Sorry, but that's the issue.

I can't export renders with male gens. I'm using Redspec and all the latest with Genesis 2 Male. This is the stock Philip skin. (I have verified that this occurs with or without redspec, so dat ain't it.)

If I render with the plugin the hip texture on the gens comes out just fine. If I export this, the hip texture doesn't work, its like its grabbing the hip texture or something.

What format are you exporting in?

Try using either Collada (.dae) or Waveform (.obj) while including original texture maps and paths.
This usually works for me.
