OctaneRender 4 for Modo [OBSOLETE]

[face_off]

An issue I found with the latest V4 build. Changing the cameras White Point does not update in IPR.

edit: same for sky color, sunset color, ground color, stereo left filter and right filter.

This is fixed in the next release.

Keyable camera resolution would be nice too

Can you explain the use of this pls? It is not a trivial change, as things like the render buffer size would need to change each frame during an animation, so if there is another way to achieve what you are trying to do, that would be good.

I have updated the WINDOWS version at the top of this thread with:

4.04.0.145
- Fixed error where changing a color property from an item that was not a material (ie. the white balance) was not live updating the Octane viewport
- Fixed "Mesh not present in mesh item map when adding to mesh container" displaying when using the octane.saveAnimation command on a scene with a blank mesh used as an instance source
- Moving the Modo Camera via the OpenGL viewport now live-updates in the Octane Viewport

Thanks

v. 4.04.0.145 (and previous)

on
octane.importLocalDB
Values from Index N + K, Index Green N + K, Index Blue N + K
are missing, even if they are made with separate floating value nodes

tested with metallic and universal material

Hi. Can you send me an ORBX file from your LocalDb which does this please, and I will take a closer look.

Thanks for sending through the sample ORBX file. This problem is fixed in the next release of the plugin.

Thanks Paul, workaround is to duplicate the camera. If this is not so trivial to implement I'd just go with the workaround.

Loving the latest v4 build. Having IPR update with the camera is great, reminds me of my lightwave/octane days. Generally IPR seems more responsive even with changes to materials, colours etc. One thing I notice though... if 'enable denoising' is checked in the imager this slows down the fluidity / framerate or IPR refresh. Can this be corrected as I almost always like to have denoising on.

Cheers
Dino.

FYI modo shows the installed plugin as 2018 for v4 users with the latest build.

I could not reproduce this. Can you provide a workflow which demonstrates the problem please?
