Hi,

Thanks for release,

please put link for network node installation also?

And it would be good to put changelog/list of added features ?
Also, can you elaborate, what's the difference between 2023.1.2 and 2023.1.3? i.e. why would one use older version (I suppose 2023.1.2 is older?)

Hi Lewis,

Thanks for the post. OctaneRender node links are added now.
Sure, we will update the change logs asap!!
Some people like to stick with one version during the production and both 2023.1.2 and 2023.1.3 are stable.
However, 2023.1.3 has more improvements and fixes.

cheers

Thank you very much BK!!!
I was happy to help you

Lightwave is back for future generations and Otoy is a really important feature for us!
Now it's time to test on the network with all my GPUs

Have a nice day and many thanks!!!

After installation it is possible that the menus for Octane Render are ghosted.

to redo these menus, simply download these 2 configurations (LW2024_Menus_Render_Octane_and_IPR_configs.zip)

In Lightwave:

- Go under File/Edit/Edit Menu Layout
- Pull down the branch of the Render menu
- Right click on the Octane branch and select Import and Replace Branch.
- Choose the file: Layout_Menu_Render_Octane.cfg
- Repeat for the IPR branch and this time choose: Layout_Menu_Render_IPR.cfg file

Happy Rendering!

Hi,

Thanks for release,

please put link for network node installation also?

For the network node you have to login into your account and go to Download section and choose Applications.
Scroll down to the Octane Render Network Rendering Node.

I think it is a good idea to not download the 2024.1 Node but click instead on the view older versions and download the 2023.1.3 version.
