Thanks for the update team.It's looking slick.

Seems like Nvidia have got ahead of themselves with the Maxwell GPU's or have they changed the coding requirements in Cuda 6 ?

No, it compiles, but doesn't render correctly. Syntax etc. hasn't changed. We think it's probably an issue with the toolkit and hope that the production release fixes the problem. If not, we will have to investigate this problem more deeply. Bear in mind that the Octane kernels are quite complex and compiling them is no easy feat.

A lot of questions seem to be getting answered, but I think mine may have gotten lost in the rush. Can I therefore, repeat it?

That's great thanks.

Can I ask what the process is next. I have pretty much been using the programme (via the LW plugin) and getting involved here and there, but never really reported bugs I have found (other then discussing on forum), or got involved formally with feature requests.

Can you outline for me what I should do to be more involved in that. Even if it is to tell me where I should be asking this questions specifically?

thanks.

Right now, bug reports and feature requests should be posted on the forum. Bug reports should go to the corresponding release thread and feature requests either to their own thread or to http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=37045. Please do not post feature requests in release threads, since they tend to drown the bug reports.

And contrary to the opinion of some users, we are reading feature requests and take them into account. It's just a lot simpler to write a feature request than to implement that feature. So things need to be prioritized and may take some time.

And if you want to motivate us, render stuff and show it here on the forum (gallery / WIP sections). At the end of the day, user results are what is driving us the most.

Thanks. I'll do that. Bug reports and Feature Requests on their way.

What even stuff that doesn't look right because I can't get a good procedural or gradient going? sorry couldn't resist.

I'll post what I do, although most of what I'm doing is through the LW plugin.

Guys,

Which is the best Nvidia driver for 1.5? Face-Off suggested 227 a while ago when I was using 332 and had some problems with the Revit plugin. 332 Apparently caused some issues with then release candidate 1.27.

Your 1.5 help file suggests merely an "Nvidia driver supporting CUDA 5.5" (http://render.otoy.com/manuals/Standalo ... page_id=26)

Are there no stability issues any longer with the latest Nvidia driver releases?

Cheers,
Seeker

good job, but we need a video demonstration of each new since version 1.20.

it is more explanatory than text

You'll spend less time on the forum.

thank you

Agree with that, absolutely.
I wanna add , abc imported camera consistency , for matchmoving purposes , it is a must,9 I know it all depends on Alembic advances and it is already ,
much better0.
I t is so awesome , The animation resources , and Alembic implement is so Great ! Thank you.

Bit of issue with transforms. If a transform value node containing settings is copied into the node graph and then converted into 3d transformation node you will loose the previous values. Is it possible to copy the values in when one switches the transform type. Values that are not available in the new one can be lost but its kind of harsh to loos all the values.

I don't see no manual for this version. I downloaded the linux version of it. Is it on the way or did it got left out of the linux version?
