- Switching between noise pass / light passes and combined will retrigger the rendering. Can't set more than 1024 samples.: Could you clarify regarding the 1024 samples? How are you unable to exceed 1024 samples in your render view?


Hi Azen,

thanks for your reply.

As you can see in the screenshot below, the render tab samples are set to 16.000.
When switching to the render passes tab and choosing any different preview pass than combined
the sample settings get defined by the render passes tab settings, which can't be increased beyond 1024 (even by typing).

Switching between preview pass types will retrigger rendering. Not usefull...
For Final Render (F12) I get constant crashes of octane server. The Rendering wouldn't even start.
I guess this isn't an easy fix. Which leads to my hopes considering the SU approach ;-)

The SU approach is smacking your head against the wall, trying to find a different solution. I'm glad you're on Blender Azen, this is now my favourite working environment as I can finally get the blinders off with SketchUp.

Hi aufwind,

Thank you for the screenshot and description.

There will need to be a lot of conversation around the subject of Design as to whether the SU approach would be suitable for Blender - or what would be a better approach. The SU approach was necessary due to the impossibilities of integrating directly into the existing SU interfaces. It shouldn't be necessary to do an overhaul quite that drastic for Blender.

The workflow involves making textured planes and having them show parallax and a basic shader at rendertime.


That sounds like quite a handy tool!

There could be some potential there. With a high enough demand for support, this will inevitably be assessed for development.

Cheers,

That is understandable. From what I have gathered, there has been reported bugs but a general uptick in testing feedback. The plugin development is iterating in the right direction, so the wait for a full commercial release doesn't seem too far off. Hopefully you will enjoy the first commercial release of SU when it comes.

Hey, suvakas - I've seen you mention this before.

I too would love multiple UVs but I'm wondering what you mean by not usable.

Would you mind explaining briefly?

Thank you.

Hi,

That makes sense. Multi-UV map support is possible in other plugins (Octane, if I am not mistaken, can natively support up to 3 UV maps). The only thing that will hold Multi-UV support back would be - as it is in all cases - based on the limitations of the host application (Blender in this instance). I will look into this as best I can to gauge feasibility. Based on user demand, this will determine how highly this is prioritized on any future roadmap.

Cheers,
Azen

Hello azen,

Could you let us know whether this functionality will be possible in the Blender plugin at all? viewtopic.php?f=114&t=60966

Also could we get an update on when the next stable release of Blender plugin will arrive? I am a subscription based user and I have not been able to try any of the new features of 3.06 since the latest version available on the download page is only 3.05.3
MacOS Sierra 10.12.3 - GTX 970 + GTX 780 Ti - 16 GB RAM - Nvidia Driver: 367.15.10.35f01 - Octane Blender 3.05.3 - 11.23 - Blender 2.78a

I do a lot of animation projects (toons, stuff for children etc) and in almost every project there is a scene when multiple UV coordinates are needed. For example a water on the floor (1st UV set for floor tiles and 2nd set for water mask), animated dirt on objects, flowing liquids done with animated UV coordinates over some other material.. stuff like that. For static arhitectural scenes yes, 1 set of UV's is Ok. But not for animations.
