Ocatane's render wishlist!

[matej]

I think they will not spend any time in an alternative file format when the sdk is on the way...

Yes, I'm a bit afraid of that. But still they should support per-texture (UV) coordinates in Octane itself, because it's a very useful thing.

Plus one for motion blur. Assuming that the new exporters work then this is the only major drawback for most animated rendering applications within octane. Is this likely or possible anytime in the near future?

Displace map!!!! Would be awesome, bloom and glare and the unit of lumens or watts like somebody says in this thread

[Radialarray]

would like a way to extract materials that i directly assigned to an object so that i can extract the material to a node in the node editor for further editing.
this would be awesome but i don't know if someone does understand what i mean

Displacement map is a must, copy and pasting materials instead of having to import them in....

Displace map!!!!

I can be wrong, but... what for?? Displace map is mostly useful at modelling stage, rather then while rendering (some kind of "Displace" modifier with it's displace map, applied to the object — and expoter simply exports modified mesh) — in other words it's a modelling (and in some cases animation) tool. A possibility of usage Normal and Bump maps at the same time on one material — that would be great.

And I also agree that copy/paste materials/nodes and creating nodes from directly assigned materials/maps/values — is a must.

Isometric View...
Is it possible on Octane's engine?

[PolderAnimation]

Hue adjustment slider for textures would be great.

Option to animated sliders

And what would be awesome is the next senario.

You render a seqence in octane 100 frames, after you see the result your not happy with the noise you have. What would be awesome if octane could render the seqence once more and use the old renders.

For example you had 500 samples the first time and then when you render for the second time you render again with 500 samples, the and result is the same as 1000 samples.
This would be very useful.

There are a lot of great VRay materials available and being able to convert VRay materials holds a lot of potential to increase productivity, but many of us don't have VRay installed.

It looks like one of the biggest repositories of free VRay materials is at http://www.vray-materials.de
Perhaps Refractive could strike up an agreement with the guy who runs it to convert and fix up all his materials to run in Octane. Or Refractive staff could do this themselves.

Having a large material library would give Octane a big leap forward and with the ability to convert VRay materials the lengthy process of building the materials can be short-circuited.

Any comments on this idea from Refractive?

Why this link downloads a tmp-file from feedjs.com which needs a connection to 217.223.161.136???
Nice to have a working firewall...
