Hi Gold
I guess Poser 2 is available now.
I assume you are referring to OctaneRender for Poser - yes.
Is 99 euros the SALE upgrade price? { do I have to upgrade standalone too ? }
That's the price to upgrade Octane Standalone, which give you a free plugin upgrade for a limited time.
1. Is octane poser 2 FASTER than 1.20?
1.2 is slower than 1.5 and 2.0.
2 Does it still use the same amount of RAM?
Yes
3 Are all the control panels the same? Can they be customized at all?
They are the same.
4 If I wait, can I get poser octane 2.0 with the HDR in a cheaper package? Does HDR studio do animation?
HDR Light Studio is a separate package that you purchase from Lightmap. You cannot animate lights in HDR Light Studio - it's a static HDR map.
why do I need it?
Not sure which package you are referring to here.
1 Where is a price list of getting up to speed? for poser octane?
http://render.otoy.com
I dont understand what version of POSER OCTANE is newest now. Also why do I need to
upgrade poser octane?
The latest release of the plugin is 2.5.2.23. You don't NEED to upgrade unless you want the Octane 2.0 features
http://render.otoy.com/manuals/Poser/?page_id=298
I know there is a sale now, but for what?
What sale are you referring to pls?
Where is a MASTER upgrade price list, with features?
There is no price list - it's one price - to upgrade Octane 1.5 to 2.0 is 100 euros.
3. Do I need to buy a standalone AGAIN?
No - you upgrade it.
4 im on Poser 2014 , which seems buggy, also }
Are you referring to Poser 2014 being buggy (not much I can do about that) or OctaneRender for Poser being buggy? If the later - upgrade to the laest version of the 1.5 version of the plugin.

Yes, separate. but will that include a full Poser Plugin and License? Or would you
need Octane standalone 2 license also?

Hi Paul,
I find poser 2014 buggier than 2012.
HDR
Not sure what that improvements all about? Didnt we have hdr already? Not sure i ever touched it.
Does that
HDR studio plugin do animation?
It looks like
render region would interest me.
and motion blur. Do I have to use NODES for motion blur - as in the pic at your link?
Random Color Texture
can Random Color Texture be used mixed with an image map?
I thought I read some post about RAM usage being a software fixable improvement. I guess
thats the future?
Congrats Paul, on still being the Leader in Octane plugin innovations.

If you watch the video - it demonstrates teh HDR Light Studio integration.
Does that HDR studio plugin do animation?
No
Do I have to use NODES for motion blur - as in the pic at your link?
No - just click Export Animation, and then load the resulting ORBX file into Octane Standalone and render.
can Random Color Texture be used mixed with an image map?
Random Color Texture only applies to scattered object materials - and is a number between 0 and 1. So it doesn't work with image maps.
I thought I read some post about RAM usage being a software fixable improvement. I guess
thats the future?
Yes, Future.

The message says it all. You have opened a pz3 saved with a previous version of the plugin - so this is a warning to check things like texturemap scales are correct.

In preferences, try clicking on the button Set Preferred Scene as the old scene might be the problem that triggers the message.

Sorry - the correct current version is 2.5.2.23 - so I have updated the top post in this thread.
Are you able to provide all the info requested at the top of this thread pls? Windows 32 or 64 bit, Nvidia driver version, octaneplugin.log file etc.
Thanks
Paul
