Can I import an orbx from standalone into OctaneBlender? I tried importing via the node graph but it doesnt show in Blenders viewport.

Is it possible at all?

You can load an ORBX file but you can't edit it. Here is how:
Add a simple 3d object that will work as a placeholder for the ORBX file. Go to it's Object data Tab > Octane properties > at the bottom there will be a file input for ORBX file you can load > start render to see a ORBX file.

Hi all,
love octane in blender!

I have a problem with the passes, they don't seem to work. All are displaying as black.

Anyone have an idea why it might be?

Would appreciate your help.

Cheers

Hello,

I'm having a problem with the View/Render layers rendering node via compositing. It seems only one render/view layer renders from the animated camera, all the others render from a viewport perspective. Anybody else had this problem?

I have my own solution after some test. I set none in color managemet display device, check octane camera imager in camera section and set response type to linear/off
hope it help

Thanks so much for this, everything has been working fine for me.

Are there any plans to add string widget="popup" OSL support for Blender?

Hello, you have to disable Blender's color management and enable Octane Imager if you you want to match preview and final render.
Set Display device to none and Look to none in Color management panel.
