Hi, is it possible to get a video from GTC presentation of Otoy?

Cheers, mib

This is exciting and the idea that I may be able to render hypervoxels from TFD in Lightwave is really cool (especially if its fast). However, I can't help feeling there are a few issues that are still floating around with the 2.X cycle. The only one I'm certain I still have an issue with is displacement on organic shapes that requre to use the shift parameter. Still experiencing tears, but I thought I had seen people still haveing issues with rounding.

Will the issues with 2.x be resolved while we're still in that cycle?

- Advanced live texture baking: A feature that’s most beneficial for use in real-time game engines, OctaneRender 3 supports unbiased GPU texture baking (UV or volumetric) of global illumination, spherical harmonics and 8D light fields in Unreal Engine 4 and Unity plugins.

I really hope this feature will be aslo in the standalone or maya plugin, because I would love to use this.

But if c4d doesnt support ptex then I still cant use that feature.

Im wrong?

You will be shocked by how good your renders look in GearVR. Seeing Octane on it is like nothing else in VR - I have to agree with Carmack on this one

The question is:

Note 4 or Galaxy S6?

Good question. - S6 is definitely better if you can wait a little for that one. You can plug in USB while im VR which is a big improvement.

ghm, I guess if OctaneRender made my to buy top of the line GPU.. then it's no problem to buy a phone..(though I dislike samsungs for whatever reason..I don't understand honestly =) but what thing I don't understand..

what is that USB for? power? or it has any other funcion? like data delivery?

Anyone know if Octane 3.0 volumetrics could possibly do anything with Realflow data? That would rock, in a big way. I have never actually used Realflow, but since you can rent it by the week, if a fluids gig popped up, it would be sweet to be able to make quick work of the fluid renders using Octane...
