OctaneRender™ for Blender plugin. Windows, Linux and OSX versions. The download links provided are for Perpetual License Holders.

OctaneRender Studio subscribers can access their software from the "Downloads" section of their Customer Account Page.



This is a TEST version, so be prepared to have some issues. Do not use it for production.


NEW FEATURES SINCE LAST RELEASE

  • Upgrade to 4.0 RC5
  • Add "Light Linking invert" in AI light
  • Add option to support untonemapped image rendering with camera imager ("Render" - "Render" - "Prefer tonemap if applicable")
  • Add option ("User Preference" - "Add-ons" - "OctaneRender Engine" - "Generate Default UVs") to generate default UV Map when creating preset primitives
  • Optimize environment texture upload (do not upload unused textures)
  • Add option ("Data" - "Octane properties" - "Force load vertex normals") to fix issues in data transfer modifier
  • Adjust default and maximum values of parallel samples and max tile samples



FIXES SINCE LAST RELEASE

  • Fix particle texture setting missing
  • Fix random environment updates failures
  • Fix camera border mode render issue
  • Fix default power value from 0.9 to 1
  • Fix order of "Rotation" attribute in glossy material
  • Fix direction issue in toon light
  • Fix update failure when deleting toon lights
  • About the UV Maps issue, we have added an option to generate UV Maps automatically:
    • Add option ("User Preference" - "Add-ons" - "OctaneRender Engine" - "Generate Default UVs") to generate default UV Map when creating preset primitives.
    • If the users want to use startup file to test LiveDB materials, they need to modify the startup file (add a UV Map to the cube) then save it manually.



You can read about new features of OctaneRender™ 4.0 XB5 here:
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=68871

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

After starting OctaneServer it will take some time before the LiveDB tree and LiveDB material previews will be available from Blender - as OctaneServer caches the LiveDB data from remote server right after starting. But only the materials groups tree will be re-cached every time after server start, LiveDB material preview images will be cached only once - so only the very first OctaneServer start will need some more time before LiveDB tree will be available in Blender.
After the server is run - you can start rendering (or open a rendered view) from inside Blender.
