R17 Take System and Octane Render Settings Path

[Studiolocal]

Hi there

The R17 take system seems broken with Octane. The file tokens do not work ? for example the following file path wont work.

R:\Octane\C4D\Previz\$take\$take

Can anyone else confirm this ? And if it does work how ? and if it doesn't is support planned ?

thanks !

Pete

no-one uses takes ? its the best new feature in R17 !? surely someone out there does

We use it and yes, it is great and also yes, it does not work with Octane

Broken? Hmm, if something has been improved and would not be working yes you can say broken. I haven't never wrote this support and don't know how to support, etc...

I discovered the same recently, I'm using takes in every project now so it would be great to have this on the wishlist for a future version.

@aoktar: Is there a reason why there are two places for Multipass names? I think it'd be best to utilise the one that is already in C4D but I assume the second one in the Octane Renderer tab is for something else or to make something work properly?

cheers,

which two places?

which two places?

I mean the two fields for multipass/render passes in the Octane Renderer tab and the normal C4D save tab:

I think you know that we are making a plugin based on a sdk which is continually changing/improving. We haven't got render passes one year ago. They has been added, changed, modified and still under construction. So due some reasons which i cannot remember well i had to add this sections, maybe about some alpha,etc.. support lacks. And after that it's not a good idea to remove somethings. I hope this makes some sense.

Hi I've made also my test and the Takes System seem to go very well with all the elements of the scene.
I've found also that token don't work, so I ask if is possible in the future to have this feature because would be really useful when you have a lot of name of files to give; with token the name could be read directly from the Take list.

How do you use it? I have no idea
