Is the Particle Flow Update problem solved in this version?
I´m still von 2.20, but in the middle of a project, so I don´t want to upgrade right now, in case something
goes wrong.
I have my particle flow objects and my instanced geometry set to octane proxy, but
particle flow doesn´t update in live view, I have to reload the geometry every time.
This wouldn´t be so bad, but it leads to very long render times. The processing of the geometry takes much longer than the actual render time.
I there a solution to this in the 2.21.1 version? I don´t have the problem with not-particle-flow particles like
P-spray, so it seems to be a particle flow problem.

motion blur does not work on objects with fur (max 2014)

..OK so figured opensubd is still not really implemented, so, when is that due cause it would be nice to have it (seems there are discrepancies between standalone and max plugin still)

.. another annoying thing - if I create instances, and then make one instance moveable proxy, the other instances do not update/propagate the property to moveable proxy, which makes them appear as plain copies inside octane, until all are manually set to moveable proxy ..

- now I don't really undestand why would I need to have this kind of feature - it is more likely I would forget to set the first object as moveable proxy and then have to find instances and reapply them, as I did many times, and still do when I am unsure.. anyway - it seems to me that early octane versions did propagate moveable proxy onto instances


- and I am a bit (annoyed again) because I know c4d users have a nicer plugin experience - and I switched from c4d to max early on, just for the plugin - because c4d can use it's own built in noises and shaders, which I've seen it on tutorials and such

- it would be very much so lovely if there was some "bake texture" node that can be input to octane.. so we can plug in stuff from other shaders, noises etc - I know there are plugins that convert say an input diffuse bitmap and add&convert to normal and height map - it just creates another bitmap inside the directory with normal, diffuse etc - this could even be done through some scripting (but rgb maps cannot be run through scripting as I've learned), so I know there are workarounds for us to use the existing max noises and other textures (at least through baking), it would probably slow down a bit when converting but I can live with that - and I really hope you get that implemented somewhere along the way..

- and also that thing when moving instances while rendering, is terribly slow, please do that one first

.. sorry for whining, but there may be other users feeling about those small things..
.. you're the best, love you all

Hello Karba, in a earlier post you said :
"At the moment there is no proper way for implementation of multi uv channels. octane standalone implementation doesn't allow to do that without extra GPU memory consumption even if it is not used."
Is it always the case, or you find a workaround ? Thanks.

No ? Yes ? Perhaps ?

No answer ? I would like to know....

Wooooow maaaaaan,

multiple UVW maps, finaly!!!!
Thank you.

kreativninered (or anyone else) can u explain to me why multiple uvw maps are so important?

Nildo

I hope otoy will solve it all in the next v3 version.. right otoy?.. Riiighhht??..

PS: Id like to have everything from C4D users - all features (buttons on preview mode, materials/maps with previews on nodes connections as in the picture, realtime texture baking, lighting passes...)..

pleeeeasseeeee (https://vimeo.com/105328990)

It is great for mixing materials/maps. Of course you can mix maps with different transform and scale nodes using the same mapping channel, but this can
be limited.
Sometimes I have a UV-Unwrap on channel 1, in which I paint some worn or damaged edges oder different kinds of masks. And then I´m mixing
this with a material with tileable maps using my simple box mapping on channel 2.
