OTOY Forums

Excuse my ignorance, but where is the 2.24.2 standalone release? I can't find it.

At the moment I can't install the plugin, remove the last one (2.24.0) when I install the new one It says plugin not found.

Aoktar maybe this is important.

I tried to install the plugin on cinema 4d 17. I downloaded the zip file, erase all the cdl64 except the R17 and the plugin didnt work. This time I erase all except R16 and the plugin works. Something wrong happens with c4dOctane-R17.cdl64 file.

Thanks for info. What's build/version numbers of R17?

You can use custom objects via object tag. I'll remove "particle engine" option from LV menus. Thanks.

I haven't tested it honestly. Because haven't time to do. We'll see...

Hi Aoktar,


any chance to add possibility to change GPU priority when rendering to picture viewer ?
I mean on the fly, after i start rendering to picture viewer

Also, for me, this option is very important. Please respond because it depends on us over time.
Thanks

Why do you wish that? Settings window is disabled on anim. rendering to avoid problems.So this requires new interface for Render Settings.

Why do you wish that? Settings window is disabled on anim. rendering to avoid problems.So this requires new interface for Render Settings.

for example:

1.
When rendering long animation I want to use full speed
but sometimes I need to do some other task in back ground.
Because of that I have to stop rendering (octane eat whole GPU power)
when i hit render again cinema calculates whole project/dynamic sim (even if it's baked)
as you know precalculation takes sometimes 10-20 min (complex projects)

2.
same with very high resolution stills in picture viewer.
If project needs couple hours to complete and we wish to do something in background...


If we could change GPU priority PViewer on the fly we can save time.
But if its impossible or take to much time that is fine, don't worry

Hi – where is the new Scatter Object? Not seeing it on OS X version. Thanks!

Also, Displacement seems to be broken with this release – not getting anything happening.
