OctaneRender® for Poser (Windows/OSX) 3.03.3 [OBSOLETE]

[face_off]

No Daylight to rotate anymore...

Attached is a a screen capture showing Octane set to daylight environment but no daylight option in Poser to rotate and change...
Have I buggered this thing up somehow?

What are you trying to rotate? The sun or the background environment? If the former, you need to have an infinite light in the scene which acts as the sun, which you can move. There is a warning when you open the Viewport if there is no infinite light, but maybe that if not being displayed because you have Expert Mode enabled.

That's a sneaky little bugger isn't it... perhaps I'm not such an expert after all.
How about when you change to 'Daylight' the plugin checks to see if an infinite light exists and if not, create one.

Changed one of the lights to an infinite light and the daylight came back.
Thanks Paul... maybe I'll turn expert mode off.

Great idea. I will see if it can be done in the next release.

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

3.0.3.68
- Compiled with Octane 3.0 alpha 3 (3.0.3)
- Added support for ',' as the decimal place in float text boxes
- Enhanced the conversion of Emitter materials, so that if an Ambient_Color image is present in the Poser Material, it will be used as the Octane emission texture

The have refreshed the installers at the top of this thread with:

3.0.5.70
- Compiled with Octane 3.0 alpha 5 (3.0.5)

3.0.4.70
- Fixed issue where Poser11 figure control props would be rendered

3.0.4.69
- Compiled with Octane 3.0 alpha 4 (3.0.4)
- You can now specify the LocalDb folder in the Configuration (so you can set this folder if you have changed the Octane Standalone LocalDb folder)
- When converting Poser Ambient Materials to Octane Emitter Materials, the Diffuse_Color is now ued as the Emitter texture color of there is no emitter texturemap plugged into the Ambient_Color. This more closely matches the behavior of the FireFly renderer

Pls note that Octane 3 alpha 5 needs Nvidia driver 353 or later on Windows, and Cuda 7.5 on OSX.

Thanks

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

3.0.10.72
- Compiled with Octane 3 alpha 10 (3.0.10). This means that Render Region is working again, plus many other changes (refer to the Octane Standalone 3 Alpha 10 thread for details)
- Username and password is now not entered or stored in the authentication panel
- Visible Environment pin added to the Rendertarget
- Fixed issue where generating a scatter file was not working correctly
- Fixed issue where Poser materials with no transmap, but with a non-zero transparency, where converting to an Octane glossy material with the incorrect Opacity
- Converting Poser emitter materials to Octane emitter materials now applies the Poser material transmap/transparency to the Octane opacity

Thanks
