A texture Preview for octane where effects of changes like gamma or hue can be seen would be very nice. The seperate nodes can be named in the Standalone and I also miss the exposed parameters.

Sorry - I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Hi,
thanks for pointing out. yes, fyi everyone, we're in the process of putting stuff in there...
cheers,

very nice face_off !!

@ Paul

I was talking about the two panels in the attached image.
When I click a material in the Standalone I get sliders that give me control over some parameters if the material like the scattering scale for both of the submaterials in the skin material.
By texture preview I was referring to the panel that appears when you click the eye icon. I find I quite useful to see the effects of adjustments on the 2d view of the texture.

All the best,

It looks like you are editing a LiveDb material, and the Modo LiveDb import process or that material appears to not be working correctly. I will fix this once the Modo901 version work has settle down. I the meantime you will need to rebuild that material yourself in the Modo plugin.

Yes, this would be great. In the long term there will probably be the possibility to edit the OctaneRender for Modo Octane Override in the Octane NodeGraph window. You can see how this works by typing "octane.command showNodeGraph" - which will give you the graph for the whole scene, but it gives you the idea. This command is undocumented and unsupported Any changes made in the NodeGraph are NOT currently transferred back to the Modo .lxo, so will be lost.

Perfect, thank you Paul!

Fast and reliable answer as ever

Paul,

I just purchased 901 and launched it. It automatically recognized the Octane Modo Plugin from my 801 SP3. Is this normal? I did Authenticate it but doesn't seem to work properly.

Will a new update be available soon for 901?

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry. Just saw your note about the new 901 update!!! I had to remove the Modo Octane Folder for 701/801 to my desktop for it to recognize it.

Good pickup. I will post an updated 801 version of the plugin which can co-exist with the 901 version.
