Nvidia Fermi Octane Competition (CLOSED)

[radiance]

When can we expect beta 2? If I knew the deadline can extend to wait for beta 2, my method of approach would be so very different.

normal maps, bump maps, opacity (alpha), thin film coatings, daylight with sun, object relinking, and much more...

Hehe, you misread my question. I mean when?

[radiance]

it depends, we're currently deciding if we are going to add support for smoothgroups or not, to satisfy the moi3d users.
some customers using moi3d have issues with the current OBJ import and we'd like to take advantage of beta2 to add this so they can render models properly.

i can't say for sure, but it won't be long, hopefully before the weekend.

What do you mean with object relinking?
Will be able to manage more objects? I know it's not so simple to create commands to translate, rotate, scale... - but at now, it should be just fixed over the same pivot axys...
Oh, about the image sizes, are the presets working with aspect rate, or just the resolution changes? Do the camera understand anamorphic pixels?

4000 samples about 30 minute on Nvidia 8600Gt 256mb
just trying to make a picture that looks like taken from a macro lens
inspired by a parfum picture that i found on the internet

Object Relinking - Radiance is talking about (i think) being able to work on a scene in octane, close it, edit the original geometry in the host app and then go back into Octane & pick up from where you left off (but with the updated geometry). That is the best news I could have hoped for - its a major workflow necessity. Bring it on

I think you don't need to close Octane at all, there's just gonna be a "reload" button on the mesh nodes, or even an auto-reload thing

[ROUBAL]

Oh YES ! I need it too ! +1+1+1+1+1 !

I dreamed about it !

[Sam]

Im not sure, Im not in Radiance head (but sometimes pretty close)

Nice water shot Astoto (no pun intended) I'm working on a scene somehow related to yours let's see if I can post on schedule!!!
