Octane Live Platform Testing Release (pre-23) [obsolete]

[face]

I found 4 issues.
The first is that the File->Recent Files have no backslash so that Octane can´t find the files

Second, some wired emissions and a shadow? under the cube with the emission. I see that when i turn the opacity to 0.

Third, changing the emission type from null to texture will not ever affect the lighting. After reload the scene it works.

And the last, the Softimage exporter doesn´t work.
After export and launch Octane, Octane starts and i see my nodes in the scene. Then Octane connect the server and bang, crash.

But after all, it looks good and i think the issues will fixed soon.

well I have an active Octane account (yay) and I was able to download a material (cool stuff) but I'm getting crashes
I presume the Refractive server is overloaded??

Dont know if this is a bug but
the light source projection depends on the point of view the camera is ??????.
If that made any sense, where ever i look at the light source point is at.
Isent the light source suppose to lock on to a point?

Good work on Octane in general, I think it is a very nice rendering program. Im just a newbie but it is one of the better ones I have used.

In regards to the pre-release 2.3, it is totally unusable on my machine. 2.2b worked fine but 2.3pre-release I can start it and load a mesh, but as soon as I click on the obj to start the rendering or several seconds later Octane keeps crashing. This happens wether previewing a renderball or an object.

kurzwil20, _pepis
Similar thing here but I was able to load the chess set scene and run it ok just now so I think it is a server connection issue.
I think too many people trying to download and connect atm.
It seems Octane needs to close rather than say 'cant connect presently - pausing render' or something like that.
just my guess

I also have sometimes 'needs to close' when downloading a material and sometimes not so I think it all works but is just busy.
Also I am in NZ so maybe latency issues? I dont know
