I'm not aware of any problems with the "Convert Displacement Maps" Setup option. What is the specific issue are you having?have we fixed the "Turn All Displacement Nodes Off" problem yet... going through a Stonemason scene is so tedious finding the displacement nodes that have been set to displacement... time for some global settings that work... like... "Turn All Displacement Nodes to How things were before button"

Deane - what release of the plugin are you running?This....

If you reconvert all materials from Poser using that release of the plugin, it will stop those errors from occurring on that scene. And I believe that the next release of Octane will also suppress that log message. It is caused by Poser props having a negative displacement.2.20.0.39
Yes true... I think this has been discussed before... but for the blokes and blokesses out there.. can we start to think how we can create a global preferences file... like... turn this off, turn that on... only that feature... not displacement... turn that on... bugger that... yep turn that on... sort of thing... or maybe I'm just lazy and should go through each prop and figure and change all the trillion of nodes I don't want set to what default Octane for Poser sets them to.face_off wrote:If you reconvert all materials from Poser using that release of the plugin, it will stop those errors from occurring on that scene.

I have to agree Deane, it IS tedious as hell...depending on what your scene consists of. I spend way more time in the Octane than I do creating the scene in the first place! Besides what you mentioned, a multi-select/replace would sure come in handy! And since I do not back-tell to Poser, I don't care what poser's limitations are.RGUS wrote:Yes true...

That's not a particularly specific feature request. Happy to add enhancements to the plugin, but they need to be described unambiguously and in detail so I only need to code them once.turn this off, turn that on... only that feature... not displacement... turn that on... bugger that... yep turn that on... sort of thing
This is do-able, but how does the plugin handle the situation where you have selected a material and sub-node within the material - would the "material" menu items (like "Reconvert from Poser") be available? What about if you select a boolean pin ("Smooth") and a float pin ("Roughness") - what is going to be displayed in the Node Edit box in that situation?a multi-select/replace would sure come in handy!
Yep. Like I said, I can certainly appreciate the challenge. Maybe some others can chime in and give suggestions.face_off wrote:This is do-able, but how does the plugin handle the situation where you have selected a material and sub-node within the material - would the "material" menu items (like "Reconvert from Poser") be available?
