Ok, I reinstall it and uninstall the nview utility.
It works but I wonder what is really the benefit at this stage of development?
1/ All demo scene will take less than 5' on vray while, after 15min it's still so blurry that it is not usable with octane.
2/ 90% of the time spend on Vray is link to the material/light setup. This is due to the infinite number of region renders requested to improve the final render. I don't see how this process can be speed up on octane. For example, if I want to change the texture and light on the red chess on the sample scene, there is no way to insolated this mesh and work only on that one!
3/ If like Fry or maxwell, Octane goes unbiase, there is no unbiase photography as all nice photography are biaise by adding extra light to obtain a nice look. I don't see what is the benefit of unbiase render engine.
3/ All object library mapping and material library must be rebuild from scratch for people working with other render (vray, mentalray, fry, maxwell...). That a very time consuming process (several months to several years depending on the quantity). This is a big investment for a technologies where the winner will be known only in the next 5 years. What if the winner is not octane? You change again all your material library!
Graphique card are more expensive than CPU nowaday. Price/performance ratio on hardware will be better on CPU than graphic card in the short term.
Nonobstant, we will buy a license and give it a chance.
