OctaneRender 2024.1 Beta 2 for Houdini (2024.1.Beta_2.0)

[ghost3d]

Hello,

I've been having issues with the greyed out RTX checkbox on several octane versions , including this one. Tried 3 different NVIDIA drivers (including the latest 555.99 Studio driver) on 4 different workstations that have RTX cards, the checkbox is always greyed out. It renders fine, but i wonder if the RTX features are being used.

Here's a screenshot

Hi there, yes this is expected - see: viewtopic.php?f=102&t=83044

"Disabled Use RTX acceleration option on Windows and Linux, because it will be enabled as long as RTX is supported by hardware."

I figured, the render times didnt change since the option was on in previous octane versions, so it must've been on all this time , just greyed out. Thanks for clarifying that !

No problem

Thanks for the plugin improvements!
We have a beta access to Houdini 20.5, the sneak peek with the awesome new features was released today. I am wondering, could you provide a compiled plugin for 20.5 builds? Or we have to wait after the final release?.. (Some other engines already provide the beta for 20.5 for a while )

We are looking into it, hopefully we can get a 20.5 build out to you guys relatively soon.

Hey guys, Houdini 20.5 has been released. Could you please compile a build for it of Octane 2024b2?
