Ocatane's render wishlist!

[kingra]

+1 shadow only materials, SSS

[jitendra]

MULTI PASS RENDERING.
AND .TGA EXTENSION WITH RGB AND ALPHA CHANNEL COMBINED.

[steelbug]

Very much needed instants.

maybe not a real feature but your navigation doesn't work for me that well. I render products most of the time and I'd like to be able to rotate around an object. (Maybe with scenes or interior it's different...?!) There's very often an angle I can not get.

support for glare- and obstacle maps like maxwell does.
You know... everything that add´s some dirt, dust or smudges to the camera´s lens.

Here are my most wanted features.

- I definitely need a matte shadow material, for later compositing.

About ergonomy and little time saving in production :

- right clic -> duplicate node , or copy and paste support for nodes.
- right click on the mesh node (and images nodes) -> reload data. This will be useful when we make revisions on the loaded ressources, (painting textures for example, or modeling a mesh). Now we have to browse each time to the file.
- being able to see the current percentage of zoom of the viewport.
- Select all nodes and export them as individual .ocm. it would be a good way to make backups of entire projects, gathering all in one folder. (textures stored in ocm files).

@kiwimage, for reloading images there's already a reload button (just next to the load button in NI, when you have image node selected), but yeah I agree with the rest (except I would add that I want to be able to save an .ocm also with the option to not embed the textures)

Here is mine...

• Physically-Based Real-Time Lens Flare Rendering like this: http://vimeo.com/23687553
• RGBA seperate node to convert a channel to a floatimage.
• Exr split node to use different channels as image/floatimage.
• Multi texture combine node to mix multiple texures with s/r/t controll, also the option to change the tile mode for every input texture to single, mirror or continuously.
• Support to render multiple textures on vertex positions like sprites. With (random) x/y/z for s/r/t and (random)image selection. Maybe the option to select an underlying mesh to read the normals for the orientation with an x/y/z offset. Gives you the possibility to render a pointcloud like grass, starfields, leaves or fur.
• Texture adjust node to manipulate brightness/contrast/saturation.
• More mixer options like Photoshop (add/subtract/multiply...)
• Texture space generator node to generate a different uv-map for every texture. With that you can use multiple uv-maps like spherical, camera, box...

+1 to everything face said. I'm hoping for some of that stuff since I joined the zombie army...

Especially the last one - per texture UV coordinates (no per material, like it's now) - is a powerful way to give more texture variation to your materials and at the same time save VRAM.

i don't believe i only saw one request for an undo. wow. i'm totally willing to wait. In the meantime you guys are doing wonderful work.
