OctaneRender™ 3.0 for LightWave™ - Alpha build 3.00.4.0

You need to configure the TFD plugin path/file in the Octane plugin options panel. The TFD cache files are not VDB files, so they can't be rendered using the VDB loader.

Hard to tell from your path, but is that pointing act the TFD plugin? If so, I've done that.

[gordonrobb]

here are settings

It must point to the TFD plugin .p file, for example: "M:\C-Octane\TFD\TurbulenceFD_LW_v1-0_1401\TFD_loader_64.p"

Doesn't work for you?

[gordonrobb]

that's what it's pointing at yes. NOpe doesn't work. There's an update available for my version of TFD though, so I'll try that first.

[gordonrobb]

Yup, the update fixed it. Cool. Will try some stuff now.

[gordonrobb]

Hmm. IPR and F9 work. But when I try to do an F10 I get the following error "TDF Failed toload channel container "J:\Temp" at from 0" that is the right path. Do I need to do something else to be able to render animations?

[juanjgon]

Has your simulation a frame 0 exported in the cache? The frame range in my sample scene is from frame 5 to 50, so the frame 0 perhaps is not simulated.

Hello Juanjo,

thanks a lot for this update, it's great!
I'm trying to use TFD but it crashes LW everytime,
in fact even clicking on the "about" button in the Tfd tab
crashes LW.
Anyone has experienced the same problem?
Thanks a lot for your help

It seems a problem with TFD, if you can't get even the about window. Do you have the last 1401 TFD version?

Thanks Juanjo,

it was the libs that were not correctly loaded,
now the LW part is working but i've still
a warning message when lauching the
big blast octane scene you kindly uploaded :
it says that versions doesn't match between server and client
(server :3 and client :0) when i launch the ipr.
Do you have an idea of what could occur?
Thanks again

Olivier
