Hi Paul,

I noticed, a frequent bug:

When I reload the geometry intro octane, after I changed a material assignment, or created a new one, with octane view port open, octane crashes, and modo too.

Yes, I am aware of this issue. 2.2.0.21 substantially reduces the occurrence of this problem - are you using that version?

Hello guys.

Paul is it possible to load animated textures into the schematic/octane atm?

Cheers!

I noticed that when online database files are used they are stored in the octane for Revit root folder, are they also stored directly in the revit file for portability?

Hi Raf - at the moment image sequences are supported for "on-the-fly" materials (ie. Modo Materials which do NOT have an override). This was added in the latest version - but so far I've had no feedback from anyone on this new feature.

Hi Paul, i do use the latest version.

OK, I will look into this in more detail in the next release. In the meantime, click Pause prior to Refresh.

Thanks, it is still happening with pause too.

Just a quick note to say that I have a new build almost ready - against Octane 2.03. However I am rewriting the viewport navigation code to fix up the issues involved with rotating the camera - so it is another day or so away. Sorry for the delay.

Hi There,

I work in a large studio of modo artists, and often swap between using modo, Octane or Maxwell to render our visuals, however one key issue I keep coming up against is that whenever I load up modo to work on a scene, the plugin will automatically add octane parameters to my scenes even when I don't intend to work in Octane. when working on projects with other artists, this creates compatability issues between machines and causes problems when running renders on our farm.

It would be great to have the option not to auto update every scene that's opened with the plugin, or as with the maxwell plugin, there's an button that strips the scene and everything in it of all maxwell specific channels. Could the same be implemented on this plugin?

Thanks
