OTOY Forums

Andy from McNeel means, you could update the Octane scene without to reload the geometry, only by moving it in the Octane kernel.

Can you pls provide a link to this info?

Link to the WIP forum is sent per PM.

Here a graphic that show the problem of the loading times during rendering an animation - large gaps at the GPU power graph. This gaps stay constant, no matter how much graphic power is added to the machine. Here I see a big potential for improvements. For this example only 30% of the GPU power is used over the time.

As I've said before - I think Rhino is the wrong app for what you are trying to do. It is a great modeller, and animation is not it's strength. You would be better looking at other 3d apps which are better suited to your requirements.

I understand - so back to my question - doe's Modo or Cinema4D support real time update at the Octane kernel? This two package could be interesting for me.

On the other side I like Rhino and it could be great, if the McNeel team and you find ways to improve the Rhino animation rendering.

doe's Modo or Cinema4D support real time update at the Octane kernel?

For Modo - pls refer to the manual - specifically the Load All Frames Into Octane property. https://docs.otoy.com/#42Rendering%20an ... Animations

I think c4d could do what you want; although I'm not an expert so maybe get the Demo and try for yourself.

I do know there's a good transfer plugin rhino.io for taking scenes from rhino to c4d...

Thank you for suggestions.

PS: looks like the manuals are down, file (Modo) not exist if I try to download it.
