OctaneRender™ for Blender 2.25 - 9.12 Linux [OBSOLETE]

[JimStar]

The Linux version of OctaneRender™ for Blender plugin, 64-bit.




The bundle consists from two parts:
1. OctaneRender™ Server
2. Blender - OctaneRender™ edition.

The first part (server) should be run on the same computer as the second one..
After the server is run - you can start rendering (or open a rendered view) from inside Blender. Before the very first rendering you should fill in the server address (only 127.0.0.1 at the time), login and password (your license key info) to activate the server. After the first rendering the server will remember this activation info, and you will not need to enter it again.

You should use only OctaneRender materials inside Blender scenes - the plugin knows nothing about Blender specific materials and textures (about any Blender nodes, generally speaking).

Please, if you decided to report a bug:

- Don't post here the reports about how Octane engine works - use the Octane Standalone forum sections for that.
- Give a meaningful description about what you think is wrong and how to reproduce it (in addition to screenshots if any). I can't solve the "one screenshot" rebuses without any meaningful description...
- If you use Google-translator to post here - check please what you got before posting it, and edit it before posting. Ask your friends to check it if you don't speak English.
- If you like to discuss something about the plugin - create a separate thread, don't flood in these testing threads please.

Any meaningless or rebus-like "reports" here will be deleted, just to keep the testing threads clean - because these threads are directly used as the source for fixing and improving the plugin.

Tried this on a fresh Mint 18 (BETA) setup because windows (9.12 Blender Octane) kept crashing my Octane server on project

Now....
I get a "error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Do I search and make link to that?

Hi Synthercat,
That's one of the issues when running the latest and greatest version of mint (and other linux-based OSs). No problem here with Linux Mint 17.2. Try doing a symlink to the library and see if it starts.

regards,
Alvaro

I'm running 17.3 with no issues so far.

For all you with a fresh install of Mint 18 :

1.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
sudo ln -s libvpx.so.3 libvpx.so.1
sudo ln -s libopenjpeg.so.1.5.2 libopenjpeg.so.2

2.
Then just create a launcher that points to a text file that contains this :
OctaneServer &
/usr/local/OctaneBlender/blender

3.
Right click that text file and go to properties
Go to Permissions and click Allow executing file as program

I get the "Color management: using fallback mode for management" message on terminal and color management does not work (I am locked to sRGB and can't change it)
Normal blender downloaded to a folder and run from there has a working color management and does not produce that warning on terminal
