OctaneRender for SketchUp 2.24.2.3 - Test Release

[CaptainCrowbar]

This build includes an experimental implementation of the node graph editor window. Please treat this build as even more "beta" than usual, as it's the first public appearance of a feature that will undoubtedly require further work to make it fully useful. (There is no demo version in this release as we haven't decided yet whether to include the graph editor in the demo.)

IT's FONCTIONAL !



The graph create many Obj file (groups + components) it's useless for some people.

It's possible the create a option visibility for :

- materials
- groups
- components
- cameras --> choice in the graph scene 1, scene 2, ...
- daylight


THANKS

Wowowow! Let me see it! I'll be back asap and let you how it goes Captain.


Interfaces - sorry man, but I think you miss something - TIG's exporter was great but painful when it comes to instancing. That is why I came up with the plugin for manual exporting instancing txt files. Now we have the nodal approach which requires only wise grouping. When you texture one obj with different materials you'll have different texture inputs in the obj node.

I agree with you smicha, an example tell me how you can do with a graph node with this 3D model. It's just a question of visibility !

Smicha and Capitain can you watch the node graph !

how to do?

[smicha]

Captain,

Good move! Really. Now it's time to make it perfect. I'll report any bugs and ideas soon on the node graph.

1. When I hit the node editor (before Render) the default view is not active. Please make it active right after the node editor is opened. - See the screenshot
2. For an empty SU scene lets make the starting node structure with the empty 'Layer 0' geometry node and the default view render target attached. - See the screenshot
3. Remove any material maps from the node editor - these are useful only in very specific cases that can be handled manually. They introduce mess at first stage. Only mesh+render target nodes are necessary.
4. When any group or component is created let's make it's node name after the group or the component name. But no scatter node for a single group or component. See the screenshot
5. When the are any copies of a component/or group then the scatter node is necessary - see the screenshot.
6. When any new layer is created let's make a respective group named after a layer - see the screenshot
7. Whatever is moved to Layer1 will be inside the group named 'layer1'

More soon

Thanks for all the helpful observations and suggestions, everyone! I'm paying attention here and hope to have an updated build for you in the next few days.

I have to hit the refresh button for the preview window to update for me. I don't like this workfolow... so I'll be reverting back to the last update. At this point I'm using Octane for SketchUp as a preview only. And that's a perfect use for it! I'm sticking to standalone for more complete projects. Thanks for your efforts Captain.
