OctaneRender® pre-Beta 2.3 v4 (win/lin/mac) [OBSOLETE]

Will the next update allow panning the Graph editor (just use the image pan control)?
Because of lag (single card) I sometimes throw nodes over the border into the void... I can't reach them even in fullscreen

..along those lines... when I have messed around in the render view using Ctrl zoom and pan I find I cant get back to the original alignment so I would like a 'zoom and centre to fit window' button please.

while I am at it I would appreciate if you could change the the stop/start/AF etc icons in the header so that the symbols are white as the default and have say a green background glow when they are active.
I constantly find I am squinting at them to read them and get confused about what is selected - call it old age if you wish

thanks

In my case you can call it old age. I think the problem is that when something is "ghosted" I think of it as "selected". So I get confused as well about which one is currently selected and which one is not. So +1 for me too.

I can not load LiveDB materials(CRASH), this function was OK at Pre23 v3.

all of them or just certain ones ? (some really old ones are not compatible anymore and need to be removed or updated if they are usefull)
which will happen this week.

Wow You guys rock! Thanks for your brilliant work.

I have an artifact in the center of the render and the final png. Its only showing in pathtracing.

All of a sudden I can't start Octane trough Blender export script - the nice utility is saying "permission denied". I have all the permissions for all involved files, and can start Octane separately and load the involved .obj or .ocs... lol, I really don't know what has happened, because yesterday I was able to start it from Blender
I'm using the export script version from 2010/09/08

EDIT
Nevermind, I forgot to type the name of the executable, I just had the path there, silly me...

[matej]

pre2.3v4 doesn't keep my material settings when exporting to an existing .ocs, while background settings, for example, are remembered.
When I re-export to an existing scene, the materials I made in the previous run are lost. If then I close Octane without overwriting and open the .ocs, the materials are there.

Is this a Blender exporter thing, or Octane thing (beta22 works as supposed)?

I am sorry, it is working now.

I had this thought while testing this build and trying to do a turnable, could it be posible to feed octane with a camera tracking position list? that way the exporter plugins, instead of using a line command to launch octane and load everytime the mesh, they could create a list of points for the camera and the target and send it to octane to render much in the like of the turnable, that is, each frame sequentially instead of needing to reaload the mesh each time, and hence saving time.
Just one of those ideas that pop your mind from time to time, I know you probably have a more awesome solution, but in the meanwhile I guess it could be handy.
Cheers
BTW, when I finally think I have some time to do some test and have some fun, someone comes along to suck my time away.... that's murphy for you...
