Version 2.16.2

[aoktar]

Hi Aoktar,

I have a 4K 3840x2160 monitor and I found a couple of problems with the Plugin 2:16, the first I reported to LiveViewer that if minimized it disappears from the screen and there is no way to restore it, the solution is to change the template of C4D and return to the starting template. So you can restart LiveViewer.
Now I encountered another problem that stopped me when I opened C4D file in which it had been used the previous version of the plug-Octane.
The dialog warning that the file will be updated to version 2.16 does not appear and you can no longer use C4D. The solution is CTRL + ALT + DEL. After several attempts I found that typing Enter resolves the problem. Probably the alert window is off the screen, and I think it's already selected OK so if you click Enter everything works.
Please also consider that the windows be opened properly on monitors 4K

if you read release text, you'll find that. This is convertion of old scenes. I think there is nothing to do about disappearing this window. Not a special thing for plugin, i'm calling c4d's message dialog. There is no any parameter to set position or like that.
Also same thing for live viewer. We don't control that where it will be located on minimized.

About rendering for animation with kernel overwrite, yes i see this problem. I think it's a little mistake from me. I'll put here a fixed version. What's your OS?
But, i cannot see the camera location problem. Also never saw this. What kind of content caused this?
Anyone else encountered this?

It's nice to have the sliders updating when adjusting the values. Definitely an improvement. I just noticed that there is an error in the sliders updating however. 2200 samples shows a larger value in the slider than 22000 samples.

I tried changing the slider options to Cinema 4D and the only effect it has had is now I don't have any settings in my Octane tags. I am unable to find the 'c4dtype' and 'octype' folders. I will reinstall for now.

And just a small thought. Through a bit of testing, I had decided the ISO setting had not real imapct on the gamma and was therefore a redundant exposure setting. Also, the options for selecting a response according to film stocks is simply wonderful in my opinion but maybe it could be titled 'Color Response' or 'Chroma Response' instead of 'Response' because the ISO measurements in the film stock names don't effect exposure either, but do seem to affect luma levels a little bit, and most are surprisingly accurate to the film stocks they reference. I think most Octane users know this but changing the title would be a bit more proper.

Hi garytyler,
maybe a restriction to avoid copy the files. I'll check it. Changes on camera imagers, all is out of my control. This is a part of Octane core. Plugin devs cannot do anythings for rendered based requests. You may post in standalone topics for better effects on Otoy team.

Thank you!

It would be really nice to have the sliders update correctly at some point. It slows things down a lot when I change a setting and must also double check that the change has processed, usually needing to save a preset and enact that new preset just to have the settings adjust. If I don't do this, the settings usually will not be sent with the scene to Picture Viewer. They are updating in Live View much better in this release but still flawed. Adding the new sliders to the entire software would be amazing but I understand that may not be possible. Having trouble just updating settings cripples the experience of any software by a lot. I would hope this would be at the top of the list for any future improvements. This release is simply incredible. If only I could update settings accurately.

Hi Aoktar,

many thank for update the plugin, now the render works correctly!

I have discovered why the change of view by the camara occour, the problem is Background, if I disable it the view is correct.
As you can see the angle of camera is the same on each image but the background is incorrect. If you click on camera Tag the background go in right position.
The background was generated by Calibration camera.

USER: is a implementation from ground up in plugin. Which is based save files to orbx, and save and load materials from a directory structure. But not visible directly from standalone.

LOCADB: is a implementation on new SDK functions. It's similar to "USER" category, but handled by Octane sdk and shared between all plugins and standalone. So this is the new way that we go as far. Also i'll remove "User" category soon with completion of localdb functions. ATM this category has not delete,rename, etc.. commands. You can do this in standalone.

Try this fixed version against localdb crashes: http://render.otoy.com/customerdownload ... .1-win.zip

pls send me bugreport.zip's for crashes.
