OctaneRender® pre-Beta 2.4 (win x64) [OBSOLETE]

[abstrax]

I really love the new GUI and the new features, besides those small bugs, I just have two questions/requests, would it be possible (if people find it useful) when the render panel is lock to be able to pan the frame around and zoom (ctrl+mouse)? I think that the lock is one of the most useful new features for dummies like me that without knowing move the view when it was about to finish, but yet, I would like to be able to move and zoom the picture without risking "reseting" the zoom.

If it's as easy as I think and time allows, I will make the viewport zoom/pan-able, even if the lock is active.

The other request is about alpha maps (arf, I love alpha maps, I really love them) could we have a flag for the command line to turn it on/off?

Sorry, I didn't get that. What exactly do you mean and why would it be of any use?

Cheers,
Marcus

sorry, I meant the alphabackground option, to have a flag to force it from command line, like -a 1 to turn it on.

NVidia drivers 266.35 | Cuda 3.2.1 | GTX460m 1.5Go | Win7 x64

Subsampling has wrong behaviour : static buffer's area (bottom and right areas depending on subsampling's state)
Tooltips are both '2x2 subsampling'

Maybe it comes from my driver version (beta) and cuda version.

Don't think I saw it mentioned in this thread, but I had a bug report in on the CTRL+Zoom on the render view port, if I zoom into the bottom it zooms into the top, and vice versa - this is still present in the 2.4 intermediate

Hi Dayvids : I confirm the bug : I reported that several times : the Image zoom already didn't work in previous version, and the invert button in preferences doesn't invert the zoom : instead, it disables the zoom !

Well, bad news ! I use a new post to separate well the topics : This is a bug report about something very annoying : yesterday, I worked all the day on a big scene and everything worked fine.

Today, I have received my new Samsung screen (a 1920x1200 instead of my previous 1600x1200). All my software work fine, but Octane sometimes refuse to open, and when it opens, once the scene loaded , clicking on th mesh node has no effect, the memory is not filled, and Octane crashes if I click on the camera reset button, freezing completely the computer and requiring hard reboot by the power button ! (I tried with simple and big scenes as well that worked fine previously, in 2.3v5 and 2.4 as well). So, currently I can't use Octane. I have worked night and day for weeks for the competition, and now I'm stuck !

As the screen uses the same driver as the other one used yesterday, I don't see the relation with the screen... Changing back will be difficult, because I have put the previous screen on an other machine...

I have switched the main and secondary screens by software and by harware (switching plugs) with no effect.

I can't load ocs files, and I cant load an obj file ! Octane doesn't load files at all.

An other important thing : please, in the upcoming release, remove the splash screen ! If I remember well, it had been removed for a good reason : Bringing it back has brought a problem that I already reported in previous versions : When a Windows popup warning appears due to a problem when launching Octane, it appears behind the spash screen, and can't be neither read nor clicked.

What does GPU-Z tell you?

...I can't load ocs files, and I cant load an obj file ! Octane doesn't load files at all.

Do you have the same problems with 1.023 v5? Can you load/render the demo scenes? What happens if you export a simple cube? Are you still using the GeForce 260.99?

Ok. I will have a look.
