OctaneRender™ Standalone 1.26

Hey Thomas,

Maybe you could give us some more information about the collapsible panel stack UI components. I can see the component type for it but the API docs don't have this new component listed so I don't know what parameters it takes. Thanks,

Jason

Allow negative values for the object scale - thank you for this and for all of your hard work.

I just tested the negative scaling values. Surprisingly I couldn't see negative values in SX SY SZ so I input them manually and it works. These values appear as orange. IMO this is unintuitive. What about such solutions:
1. SX SY SZ sliders have negative values on LHS from 0, or:
2. Add three extra boolean options/checkboxes: mirror on X, Y, Z.

Wow, a big thank you for negative scaling !

It is the first thing that I checked in 1.25 and I asked yesterday what happened to this so needed feature !

I have just tried it on the placement node of a half of a symetrical victorian building, and it works fine ! It allows to divide by two the amount of required memory for symetrical objects. Very important when you have old hardware.

Thanks again !

That is exactly why I asked for it long time ago

Holy crap guys!.. Someone, please write a script, asap, that uses negative scaling to seamlessly dupe/flip symmetrical objects. Hell, if someone could could make it work like ZB mirror-and-weld, clipping neg or pos side you choose, regardless of whether it is symmetrical or not, this would be ridiculously cool.

That's what I am talking about: keep original and create mirrored instance at: left, right, top, bottom, front, behind.

I guess the -n command line flag didn't get fixed. Also it doesn't even create the .OCS file. At the moment I am having to do that manually.

Hi Jason,

The missing documentation is an oversight on our side. We'll get it fixed in the next release.

I'll post an example in the scripting forum later today.

cheers,
Thomas

any way to get preview configuration back? this was a very useful part of my workflow.

It works. The important bit is that if you specify the argument "-n <.ocs file path>" you must not specify the OCS file as last parameter again. For example:

Code: Select all

"P:\releases\1.26\OctaneRender_1_26_win64\octane.exe" -n "D:\temp\test.ocs" -m "test" -l "D:\temp\test_files\test.obj"

I just tried it with the C4D exporter and it works.
