OctaneRender™ 3.0 for LightWave™ -Production build 3.08.0.10

[vipvip]

actually working a project (lw2018 win64) with 1 high-poly character and there is a huge latency time for the "UDATING TO GPU" phase : strange because during this, the CPU is working at 40% max. (on i9 7940x 14cores). after, during rendering, CPU is at 0.7% (ok).
There is also big latency time... otherwise, the plugin works very nicely but t seems the latency time was so slow on previous octane versions with lw2015, if i remember well ...

Google "octane four cores"

Do you have the motion blur enabled? In any case, I suppose that this pre-processing time is going to be improved a lot in Octane 4

Hi,
no, there is no MB enabled, just a rigged hi-polys character (body+clothes+maps+fibers) with 2 4K maps. The latency time is around 15 secs when processing/reloading the scene. As already said, it seems it does not take care about all processor available when doing this multithreaded opration...
So i'll wait Octane 4 !
thanks

Hello Juan,

i send to you with wetransfer a packaged scene, which makes Octane IPR freeze (at the very first step 'loading' ) : no crash, just a freeze....

thanks

Thanks for the scene. I have a possible fix for this rare issue that I'll include in the next plugin build, but I can send you a custom plugin build if you need it now for your production.

Thanks,

Transmission value of a specular material is affecting OpenGL transparency. Since this value is often 100% these objects are invisible in the viewport.

I've fixed this issue for the next plugin build to make the object always slightly visible.

yes please can you send me the custom one ? my email : [email protected]
thanks a lot !

If an object is a collection of 2 point polygons and has an octane enable polygonal hair on it renders fibers as expected. But when you hop to Modeler, change something ( even only position of points ) and hop back to Layout, IPR doesn't render the fibers anymore. Do we really need a full reload on every change to 2 point polygons ?

I've been meaning to ask this as well.. It does suck to have to do a full reload.
