Overall, this is the fastest, most stable version, but I have twice gotten the error message below. I can choose "ignore" and continue working without a crash.


can you reproduce it with a procedure ?

So far, I haven't been able to reproduce it, and I'm not sure precisely what I did prior to the most recent occurrence. At first, it happened whenever I changed from direct lighting to pathtracing. Hitting "abort" or "retry" then crashed Octane. The third time, I hit ignore and it stopped happening when I switched kernels. This last message occurred when I was loading unloading an image texture.

I hope that helps. If it occurs again, I'll try to retrace my steps a little more carefully. As always, thanks for your prompt reply.

For the bad bugs I encountered while attempting to render an animation with an animated character (already done with success in RC2 with previous export script version), It seems related to the way objects are selected : I have chosen to not use Hidden objects instead of using Selected objects, and I have been able to render my character animation. So, the problem seems to be due to the Exporter.

A little material problem.

Guidline:
if illum = 1 and (Ks = black OR ns < 1.f (or not given))
-> diffuse material

Code: Select all

newmtl Scene_Material
Ka 0 0 0
Kd 1 0 0
Ks 1 1 1
d 1
illum 2

newmtl Material
Ka 0.3 0.3 0.3
Kd 0.7 0.7 0.7
Ks 1 1 1
d 1
illum 2

[radiance]

that's very strange indeed.
can you try setting the diffuse to 1 1 1 instead of 1 0 0 ?

I have try it but no change...
First is diffuse, second glossy.
I have also seen that the first has ever checked smooth, the following not.
Ever the same, Octane 1.02 beta 2 till 1.022...

Have try something...

diffuse:

Code: Select all

newmtl Material
Ka 0.3 0.3 0.3
Kd 0.7 0.7 0.7
Ks 0 0 0
d 1 or Tr 1
illum 2

or

newmtl Material
Ka 0.3 0.3 0.3
Kd 0.7 0.7 0.7
Ks 1 1 1
Ns 0.500000
d 1 or Tr 1
illum 2

Also is diffuse when Ks 0 0 0 or Ns < 1.0f and given.
illum seems not be used.

Change you it in Octane or should i change it in my exporter?

I'll investigate this on monday, i'm currently flooded with license purchases...

Ok, i change it in the plugin, should be lesser work for me and i can change it back when it works as in the guidline.

Half price, i know

Still another problem.
When i load a obj with textures in Octane, then i don´t know which parameter is which texture.
Or you know, which parameter is the texture lower_eyelash.jpg"?
I think it should be enough, when is see the texturefile beside the "Load new file" button and the parameter is ever shown.
So i can allocate the file to the parameter.

Maybe a icon on the right side that the parameter has a texture, like the linear/logarithmic button, would be nice.
