OTOY Forums

Wow, that's great that the documentation has been updated to 2.0! Last time I looked it was still covering only up to 1.0.

I'm still wondering how to use a lot of the newer features since 2.0 that aren't yet documented. I guess the majority of my questions are about Maya batch rendering - how to automatically write the passes to directories, and how to write out more than 1 Octane render layer in a batch render (so far, all my attempts have failed and I'm not sure if it's possible). In fact, I wonder if Maya render layers work with Octane because that would be a way to do a lot of what I'm trying to do with more complex projects.

Also, the motion blur doesn't work like other renderers (errors out a lot with the message that I need more frames before) and the documentation doesn't really make sense about having to 'have frames before and after your animation'. What does this mean? Does this mean that I can't render anything that has animation before and after the frames I want to render? Or is it the opposite and I have to have animation before and after my sequence? Maybe an example would be helpful in the documentation to clarify.

This link together with all other manuals links has always been in the "manuals" section of the Otoy site.

Also, can you please point me towards how to save render presets? Why do you respond with such short answers and ignore so many of the questions that are asked?

Sorry, but I can't spend the worktime on answering the questions that were answered by me already many times on this forum. May I suggest you to use the forum search before asking something? E.g. typing the "preset" into search field and choosing Maya plugin subforum in filter...
