OTOY Forums

I have refreshed the installer at the top of this thread with:

2.11.1.35
- Fix issue with render statistics displaying the wrong render pass
- When rendering an animation, if "Load All Frames Into Octane" is ticked, ALL Meshes are treated as having "Live Geometry Update" ON (so the initial load time is fractionally longer, but then only the Octane Placement nodes need to be updated each frame)
- When rendering an animation, if "Load All Frames Into Octane" is ticked, Meshes, Mesh Instances and Replicator transforms are all loaded into the Octane timeline, so animate (however only Mesh item are rendered with object motion blur), and only the Mesh vertex positions from the first frame are loaded (so animated morphs will not render). This mode minimises the "Reload" time between frames, but does not render object motion blur for instances and replicators, and does not render morph animation
- Added "Reload Mesh Each Frame When Animating" property for Meshes. If ticked, the vertices of this Mesh item will be reloaded each frame when rendering an animation when "Load All Frames Into Octane" is ticked (however the resulting mesh will not render with object motion blur - since the transform is not changing).

Thanks

Paul

Fantastic, exactly what I needed for animated instances

Thanks Paul


oops I think I should of put Thanks Paul at the top cause my name is Keith

Hi Paul, have you received my message with modo command that I use in order to make a mesh with octane material? The command I use is "Save Assembly".

Cheers,
Vlad

H Vlad - my response is earlier in this thread:

Hi Vlad - thanks for sending through the scene and additional info. Answering here in case others have the same question....

If you have a rigged character/figure, if you rightclick the Item and "Save Assembly", it will save the figure as an Assembly - but because each Octane Override for that figure is it's own Assembly, when you reload the saved Assembly, all the Octane Overrides will be in the one Assembly - and not work correctly.

Instead you need to save the figure as a Preset (although in the specific example you sent me, you need to merge the balls with the clown, or save the clown and balls as separate Presets).

Hi Paul, thank you for the reply, I will check the save as a preset assembly command today, and see whot it works out. Thanks for the "digging time".

Hi Paul,

I found an issue with that technique you pointed.

It works, but here is the issue. When modo imports the .lxl ( loxology layer file) preset, it create a group mask in the shader tree and the material is not loaded by the octane render plugin, I saw that If iItake the material contained in that obj.lxl group oyt, octane recognizes the material back. Is there a way to fix this automatically?

Cheers,
Vlad

Hi Paul
I can't use octane 2.0 for 801.
Only 801. 701 is works.
please help me.
701

Hi - I suggest deleting Modo801.CFG. In the unlikely situation where that does not fix the problem, could you pls tell me all other plugins you have installed for Modo801.

Thanks

Paul

Hi paul.

Thank you for the quick response.

801 config.....

Yes. I already deleted 801 config file.
but nothing changes.

My all Plug in is....


and
I got this message when started MODO 801.

Do you know this mean?

Hi Vlad - sorry for the delay responding to this.

You are right. This is because Modo is loading the character with a Polygon tag type of Selection Set. Select the lxl in the Shader Tree, change the Item to Clown_Characater, set the Tag Type to Material and set the Polygon Tag to "(all)" and it fixes the issue. It would be great if Modo did not load lxl with a selection set - however I am not sure that can be changed.

Does rightclick Clown_Character->Export Selected Layers->Luxology Scene (untick all options) work better for you? When I Import the exported scene it is attaching all the materials correctly.
