Morph Targets on the character transfer over.
It is interesting, if I drag along the iClone timeline, and UE4 moves respectively in realtime, the Octane viewport perpetually renders like a constant realtime update, it never completes itself as a render.
It constantly runs pixelated, but you can see the matching blendshape in the image.

But then it will suddenly look like it is going to complete a frame, and it crashes UE4.

I am using 4.22.3 because iClone doesn't support 4.23 yet.... :x

Octane updates the model everytime unreal claims the mesh has changed. Which means that if iClone sets the SkeletonMesh to "dirty" octane will start rebuilding the mesh every frame update.
Ill check if i can figure out why the crash is happening. I was hoping I didnt have to learn how to use iClone, but alas.


Thanks! If you need any help or contacts, do let me know. I know and use the soft, and have been a Beta participant for several of their products....much to Reallusion's dismay.

..is it ever going to have applied materials at all, since this seems to require making materials and assigning the textures all manually.. PITA, but still a bit better then nothing

Could you send me the your orbx file?

1-When the ORBX imported, UE4 parent materials will be also created?

Do you mean if there will be a conversion step from Octane Materials to Unreal materials?
Yes, the conversión from ORBX to UE4 materials is the most important for us.
----------------
The idea is to create a set with Maya, 3DS, C4D.... with Octane, then export to ORBX, then import to UE4 so that we can Previs in realtime, and then record the camera tracking data in FBX format with our system so that we can render the whole movie with Octane Render with 10x GPU HPC Servers.

We've been successfull doing just the modeling and the UV (UDIM) with external 3D app, and then, light, map all the textures and create all the materials within UE4, rendering both at the same time Octane Render and UE4 so that both have the same color and same light.
----------------
We are using this system for feature films and fiction series. This is one of our first tests, https://vimeo.com/263196460

Best Regards


Hi Mr Factory

We discussed this and are going to look into the following two features for ORBX importing:

- Unreal preview materials.
During ORBX importing new unreal parent materials will be contructed by partially converting Octane materials to unreal materials.

- Alembic support. ("Export to animated package" in cinema 4D)
Currently this does not work for animations because of scaling differences in the alembic file that octane creates. Im going to look if it is possible to change this scaling before its imported into unreal.

Would this help?
*Do note that material/texture animations will not supported and VDB will not be supported by ORBX importing.

Thanks a lot, Chris, that's perfect!!!

We need to render UE4 baking/raytracing and render also Octane Render, to be as close as possible so that we use UE4 for Previz and Octane Render for Rendering. But if the previs is good enough we will keep that shot as Virtual Production shot, if not good enough we will render with Octane Render.

As a tumb rule, close shots and mid shots, tipically with low depth of field, can be Virtual Production 4K or Octane Render 4K rendering frame by frame (with pases) as needed, but wide shot must be Octane Render to keep all the details. With this approach we can save 30% of the render of a scene.

The best will be if we can bake using Octane Render plugin in UE4, so that de Previs is Octane Render and the Render is Octane Render.

Will be possible to bake light maps in UE4 using Octane Render???

Thanks for all.

again I'm testing with exporting from 3dsmax to orbx.. and the model is rotated in y and even mirrored second model, I even imported and saved with octane standalone..not sure whats going on there..

..also I create an octane material inside unreal, it doesn't see it in the unreal scene.. is that gonna be converting to ue mats, also when importing orbx convert to unreal mats.. that's what I'm expecting to get from this so far..

Again, could you share your orbx file that you are using with me? You can PM the link to me.

We are going to support Octane to unreal conversion, but it is going to be limited and for previz.

Hi Chris , thanx for the good work so far :-)

Question :
Does Octane support Unreals dynamic cloth ? (NvCloth)
When I render out a Character with dyn Cloth in sequencer the Unreal Render looks fine , but the Octane Render doesn't render thy dynamics of the cloth.

Or am I missing something ?

best :-)

I looked into this, cloth has been added and should be part of the next build.

Yes.
There will be a build with 4.22 and 4.23 first though.
