901 SP2: Octane Viewport Slow

[jtmsf]

Hi

I just downloaded 901 SP2 demo and noticed that octane's direct camera navigation is very slow on the docked viewport. I have both 901 and 801 installed and in the later the viewport is fine with very fast camera navigation.

Do you have a separate video card as your display adapter? If I render and use the same card as the display adapter with Modo901, viewport navigation is very slow (because Modo901 using more graphics card resources for it's OpenGL display).

I noticed the same, mainly with live meshes, like moving my light to create scene lighting.
801 works fine.

Do you have Preferences->Octane->User Modo Render Cache ticked or unticked pls?

unticked

I did some testing on this. I think the main issue is that now there can be multiple viewports, so the triggering mechanism to indicate there is a new render available is much more complex than the Modo801 version of the plugin. I will see what can be done to improve things. In the long-term, the plugin will move completely to the Modo901 Render Cache API which will internally change the live geometry refresh system which should improve things.

I found that octane for modo plugin working much slower (delays) than Octane standart alone.
Render speed same (i did a lot of tests) but perfomance in plugin is much slower.

For example I saw how plugin working in Cinema 4d. It's same as in Octane standart alone.

My viewport working very good (fps).

Dmitry - this is pretty vague. If there are specific functions which are lagging, pls let me know, and provide a sample scene, so I can reproduce the delay and look for a resolution. In general, a lot of Mesh items will slow auto-updating and material updates considerably, because of the time required to process each Mesh item through the Modo API.

Paul I'll try to write video with plugin and regular software. And difference between.
