hello,

please :

What is the argument i need to add in this kind of command line to render a specific range of frame ?

"C:\Program Files\OTOY\OctaneRender 2.24.2\octane.exe" -e -q -s 128 -t "Render target" --output-exr "\\EIGHT-JOB6\job\PROJECTS\Yann_tests\test_octane\RENDER_from_cmdLINE\toto.exr" "\\EIGHT-JOB6\job\PROJECTS\Yann_tests\test_octane\unpacked_from_standalone\151208_octane_test.ocs"

thank you.

thank you.

You can't. There is no argument for that and we are not really maintaining the command line anymore. You can find all available arguments here: https://docs.otoy.com/Standalone_2_0/?page_id=516

If you want to do something more advanced, you have to write a Lua script and run that one instead. You can do that via the command line, too.

thanks for the reply.

does it mean octane 3 will have no command line available ?

Has anybody using Octane tried to setup a pipeline with Deadline ?
and have to deal with this LUA scripting method.

thanks,

No, it just means that we are not adding new command line features. In fact, we haven't been doing that since ages.

Don't know.

and have to deal with this LUA scripting method.

thanks,

With Lua you can do a lot more than you ever would be able to do via command line. Just have a look at Roeland's reply: viewtopic.php?p=259018#p259018

For more information about Lua scripting in Octane, please check out the Lua scripting forum.

Let me google that for you. It seems that deadline supports Octane out of the box:

Thanks stratified

I have looked at the help on deadline , I heard about google too )))

I would be happy to make this work , But > the thing I miss in this process is creating a bunch of OCS files per frames.

using Cinema 4d, and the amazing work of Aoktar, I use the ORBX animation package, but DeadLine won't recognize the ORBX, and from there, loading this orbx in the stand alone I don't know how to export OCS files per frames.

thanks again for taking the time to review those questions.
