OctaneRender 4 for Modo [OBSOLETE]

[lightvu]

Hi Paul,

When I try to install the latest version of Octane for Modo, the one that is in the first post in this thread, I get an error saying that "Trial version found, commercial version expected"
(And yes I double checked to make sure it was the right link. I am a subscription customer)

This is fixed in the next release, which I will post in the next 30 mins.

I have updated the STABLE installers at the top of this thread with:

4.02.1.140
- Compiled with Octane 4.02.1
- Fixed issue there filename outside an assembly were being ignored
- Fixed issue where changing the Mesh Object Color was not live updating in the Viewport
- Fixed issue where the Modo Light Color was not translating to the Octane Toon light color

Thanks

I have posted an experimental TEST build of the plugin with Octane 2018.1 at the top of this thread.

2018.1.0.141
- Compiled with Octane 2018.1 RC6
- Added the Cryptomatte render passes as per Octane 2018.1
- Added additional Octane 2018.1 Kernel pins
- Added support for Octane 2018.1 Vertex Attributes. Assign an RGB, RGBA or Weight map to a Modo Mesh, and then set Live Geometry Update ON for that mesh. Then create an Octane Override for the mesh material group and plug a Color Vertex Attribute or Greyscale Vertex Attribute into a texture pin. A Modo Shader Tree "Vertex Map Texture" can also be added to the Schematic and plug the vmap channel into the "Name" pin of the Octane Vertex Attribute node.
- Added the 2018.1 Vectron geometry item. To use this, click the Modo Mesh item "Add Mesh to Schematic" button. Then add a "New Geometry"->"Vectron" from the OctaneRender layout onto the Schematic and plugin the Vectron output into the Modo Mesh "Octane Geometry" channel. IMPORTANT: Live Geometry Update must be enabled on the Mesh item to render the Vectron
- Overhaul of the capturing of Modo changes and reflecting them in the Octane Viewport. More changes should now be detected, and slight performance gain
- Fixed issue where Meshes were not rendering if Render was ON for the Mesh but the visibility was OFF
- Modo Mesh Octane ORBX Proxies can now be used as instance and replicator sources. IMPORTANT: Live Geometry Update must now be enabled on the Mesh item to select and render an ORBX proxy. If a Modo Mesh item has both a proxy assigned and a Vectron connect, the Vectron is loaded
- The Octane 2018.1 Volumetrix Spotlight has not yet been implemented

As with all TEST builds, please use with caution on your commercial scenes.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul.

Having a performance issue with 2018.1.
Exact same scene and modo version.

This link is with Modo_4_02_1_140_64bit plugin
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2qzj5akjtwo6r ... 1.mp4?dl=0


And this link in with 2018.1 plugin.

The issue so far seems to be with heavy scenes.

Thanks for sending through the scene. I have identified the problem, but a solution will take some time to implement. I hope to have this resolved in the next release (mid-next week).

Thanks

Paul
