OctaneRender 3 for DAZ Studio [TEST and STABLE] [OBSOLETE]

[face_off]

1. Download & Install: https://www.sharecg.com/v/87623/browse/ ... Props-Iray
2. Switch to OCDS/Textures tab.
3. Load the paper straw from "/Props/AllenArt Props/Milkshakes/" and select.
4. Navigate to "/Props/AllenArt Props/Milkshakes/iRay Materials/Paper Straws/"
5. Change material to "Plain White".
6. Change material back to "Red White Stripe" (notice the rogue texture appears)
7. Save scene.
8. Clear and load the newly saved scene using "Don't load unused Materials" (this option does not affect the state of this texture).

Thanks for the effort to work this out. I couldn't get any rogue texturemaps using the method which had the red background. However the textures I see which appear to be rogue are actually textures using by the Iray material - so once I "Create as auto materials" for the straw object, they are then used, and therefor not rogue. Is it possible that the texturemaps you are seeing are used in the DAZStudio scene, but not Octane?

The confusion comes from seen unused textures with "X"s next to them and my expectation of "X" being a DELETE function.
I also couldn't find any documentation on this behavior via help button.
Thanks for time and clarification.

Yes - I agree. The documentation (https://docs.otoy.com/manuals/products/ ... tures-tab/) indicates the X is used to sort by filetype.

I was referring to the X next to each texture, not the header [x]. All the others are self explanatory; Color, Gray, Light, Etc. This X leads me to believe I can remove the texture from the list. If It's unused in OCDS, there's no need to list it. At least that's my logic. If I see a list of unused textures marked with Xs, I'm thinking junk.

I am working on the 3.06 version at the moment - hopefully it will only be a day or two away.

Thanks Paul, I was wondering the same. Can't wait!

Thanks Paul. Eagerly waiting for it. Btw. one of the problems that I had reported before (viewtopic.php?f=44&t=55214&p=295786&hilit=+bag#p295786) seems to have been resolved. Now I am able to load the mirrored accessory properly . Not sure in which version it got fixed but I just saw the prop again and thought of giving it a try and it worked perfectly. Thanks for that. Probably it got resolved with some of the bug fix and code clean up you have done.

Issue fixed

Thanks Paul. Will give it a test run now .

Update:
Just ran it and first thing I noticed that my scene loaded properly the first time itself. No wrong placement / orientation of any item on the scene. Previously I always got that and a rebuild scene was required to get everything back to the correct orientation. Thanks for that. Though it was a minor irritation but seeing everything load the first time around makes for a such a better experience .

2nd Update:
Spoke too soon. That problem is still there. I am trying to nail it down in terms of repeating steps. My first scene had loaded without any issues. But the second time I loaded it, most of the elements were placed wrong until I did a rebuild scene. Then it became ok. Reload forced does not solve the issue.
