Do think other Octane plugin developers will have a workaround that could also be adapted for Rhino and the instance ids?

I am the Rhino plugin dev - and as stated above, based on my initial assessment I am unsure if this can be implemented, but I will investigate in more detail in the coming weeks.

That sounds great Paul.
I know you can't promise anything and you are always working hard and fast on the plugin.
So I just keep my fingers crossed
Cheers and thanks for the efforts of having a closer look into that

I have updated the installers at the top of this thread to include a new Octane 3.07 TEST 4 build.

3.7.0.85
- Compiled with Octane 3.07 TEST 4. See viewtopic.php?f=33&t=62636 for details.
- Added an instance id to each Scatter transform (ie. each block instance will now have a unqiue instance id). The new Texture node types Instance Range and Instance Color can be used with these id's. Refer to viewtopic.php?f=33&t=62395 for for details.
- Added the new UVW Transform texture node from Octane 3.07
- Added the new Baking Texture node from Octane 3.07

Wow Paul that is awesome.
Thank you for making this happen!

Thank you Paul, great work as always... !

can anyone tell me if it is possible to use the baking feature to map e.g. 3 different objects with different materials into one single map?

I managed to render out single objects which is great but only works for small projects IMHO for mid sized scenes this will be a very time consuming process...

thanks for any feedback

If you set the Baking Group of the 3 objects to be the same, you can do this, although the Rhino plugin does not expose the Baking UV Transform that you might need to use, so export the scene to ORBX and set the transform in Octane Standalone and do the baking there.

ok... I think I am slowly beginning to understand... in rhino the maps of the objects are stacked directly above each other in the frame buffer... now in standalone i can use the transformation tools to scale them and move them manually ... I can save the texture, but how do I get this back into rhino with correct mapping coordinates? What is the purpose of the Baking texture node in the material editor ?

You have to adjust the UV's on the Rhino mesh, or tweak the Octane material of the Rhino mesh to transform the UV's.

What is the purpose of the Baking texture node in the material editor ?

Pls see "Baking Texture" at viewtopic.php?f=33&t=62395

I have updated the TEST build at the top of this thread with:

3.7.0.86
- Compiled with Octane 3.07 TEST 6

Hi Paul.

Any new timescales for the Rhino 6 release yet? I appreciate it sounds like there's a lot to change from 5 but we're just starting to look at 6 and wondered how Octane was coming along?


Thanks
