OctaneRender 3 for Modo [OBSOLETE]

[face_off]

Hi. I have been trying the VDB implementation and been following your Youtube video but I do not know if I'm doing something wrong? I can't make the nodegraph work, nothing happens if I edit the volume medium in it? Then I notice that I can't Move or scale, It works in the Modo renderer but in Octane the voxels stays in the original place, a limitation?

You should be able to transform the Volume that has the VDBVoxel as the source, and Octane should immediately pick up the new transform and apply it. So it appears something is amiss. Are you able to send me your scene pls? I don't need the VDB file.

My mistake about the transform/scale thing, I did move/scale the VDB Item (works in Modo), if I move the Volume Item it works with Octane.
But I still can't get the NodeGraph to work, nothing happens if I change things?

Try the version below pls. I found sometimes I need to Refresh to scene to get a new Volume NodeGraph to be applied.

3.3.3.113 (pre-release)
- Fixed crash when setting the Modo Blur Length to 0
- Fixed issue where of the Modo camera DOF effect is disabled the plugin would not disable dof rendering
- Resolved error where a Volume Medium NodeGraph node was not being connected to the Volume geometry

This only works with the Modo Render Cache active can we get it to work without it?

I just checked with the scene and workflow you provided a while back ("morph influences modo.lxo") and it is working there, with the Render Cache off.

I'm having an issue with Motion blur which appears to be Octane related. I'm rendering out my scene in Octane with modo's camera blur set to 50%. If I change the motion blur to Zero modo crashes. I noticed that when the blur length is set to zero, the shutter speed reads "1.#INF" maybe that has something to do with it?

This is a bug in the plugin, fixed by the next release...

Awesome, morph targets work perfectly in the latest pre-release 3.3.3.113, I was using it before with 3.3.2.111 when It wasn't working for me. All good!

Hi again Paul, testing out motion blur with the latest pre-release and it's still a bit buggy. if I set the motion blur from default (50) to zero, it does not crash immediately but it doesn't update the zero percent motion blur in the octane viewport. You can scrub the timeline and the motion blur is still at the setting before it was changed to zero. When I go to reload the scene in octane then it crashes. Please see scene file attached.

Many thanks,
Dino.

With 3.3.3.113 it works, just need to refresh Octane ones after you assigned the volume nodegraph.
Thanks. /Niklas

I might be mistaken here but in previous builds were we able to zoom focus on the mouse pointer in the octane viewport? appears to be broken in the latest test build.

The latest build contains a lot of new code to try to get the mousewheel rolling zoom to zoom the pixel under the mouse, but I couldn't get it right (this is only an issue when the Viewport is a floating panel). But it should still work correctly when you mousewheel zoom in the Octane layout.
