OctaneRender_for_Maya_4.0RC4_-_13.7-Beta [ OBSOLETE ]

[BK]

1. It looks like the smp flag (and perhaps other flags [schd]) no longer function as an override when batch rendering. No mater what value I provide it uses the value set in the scene.

Render -r octane -smp 100 file.ma <--does not set sampling to 100


2. Also there is no longer any progress output. Previously we would get a line:

Octane: Refreshed image, 3962 samples per pixel of 8000

but now it just says:

octane: frame 101: scene translated in 0:030 sec.
octane: frame 101: render is finished

3. Lastly it always seems like the linux installer(extracted) is missing the octaneRenderer.xml file. I always have to run a dummy install on windows to steal the xml file for linux.

Hi Psultan,

Thank you for reporting this.
We have created tickets on our tracking system to investigate on sample override and request ticket to include the OctaneRender.xml for Linux?
Btw, you just need to extract the .exe windows installer using 7-zip.

AFAIK, the new plugin is designed to not print the refresh image to optimize the plugin.

Exporting a scene as ORBX is not working correctly for ORBX materials, texture files are lost in the process.

Hi Calus,

Could you please share us a Maya sample scene? It seems to work on our side, not sure if anyone has this same issue.

Cheers

It seems to work on our side, not sure if anyone has this same issue.

Indeed the bug is not what I described, I went too fast this has nothing to do with exporter and linked files sorry


Please have a look at the attached scene, an error happen when loading the ORBX material :

Code: Select all

Can't connect node 'Glossy material' (NT_MAT_GLOSSY, 000000007783B0E0) to static pin 'input' (P_INPUT, type PT_MATERIAL) of node 'Material out' (NT_OUT_MATERIAL, 000000007783C520)

Steps to reproduce this bug :
- create an object and apply an ORBX material
- Edit the ORBX material and create a material directly in the node inspector ( so the material is collapsed in the outMaterial node)
- close EDIT window, save and close the Maya scene
- Open the scene again : ERROR on loading the ORBX material

Thanks so much, Calus, for the sample scene.
This has been reported and will be resolved in the next release.
