OTOY Forums

It's no biggie, I'm using a previous version from graphicall that's still compatible, but if I try to install it on the latest SVN compiled in Ubuntu it won't allow checking it in render addons. (It also happened with one of the latest graphicall builds under windows).
It's a shame that the API is still changing so much, it keeps breaking stuff at all levels

I hope official 2.57 release stabilizes this.

Can you try this one and tell me if it works please?

Thanks,

hi yoyoz,

1.10 is not workin for me.
i upgraded to svn r35708 and copied it manually to the io folder as usual but it didnt show up under render engines:(

cheers dave

edit: very strange the netrender folder in io is gone in 35708

Hi Dave,

when I try to install it with overwrite I cannot select it jusrt after. However, if I save my settings, exit blender and restart it, I can select it again from the addon panel. Can you give a quick try?

The netrender is moving as an addon now. I saw comments ab out that in the commiters mailing list.

Cheers,

Just tried it out with the 35733 checkout/build and it's working fine again

I just need to check one thing, the scenes I export are getting a glossy material on everything, even when I change the material properties to diffuse in blender/octane's material editor.

Iĺl run some tests and get back

You should have a look at the documentation of my exporter

For the material panel to export materials as you define them, you must enable 'write material into OCS' in main panel, otherwise they will be exported through the MTL file, and only the first time you export them. For getting a diffuse material from MTL export, just lower specular to 0.

Ahhhhh great! I will indeed take a closer look at the documentation pdf, thanks a lot Yoyoz. Fixing and testing it now. Thanks for the new 1.10 version.
May I ask what changed to make 1.09c incompatible?

Alvaro

When declaring a new render engine in blender, you must explicitely declare which of the existing panels are compatible with yours so you can re-use them (here we have textures, lamps, particules, etc...). The internal location of those properties have recently been renamed, this is why 1.09c didn't work anymore.

BTW, v1.10 has some extra features that are not documented and that I didn't want to publish yet, so I'll let you discover by yourself

bckt rndr ...
got to try it. lets discover more:)

go yoyoz, go yoyoz:)

thx
