Workflow Octane

[Elvio]

Hi Guys, I´ve used the Octane render for production of a feature film in Brazil. I will post the movie here soon.

I would like to suggest some features which I think would be very important for the software.

Matte material : It´s really important, because with this whe can create masks

Camera Data: it would be great if I could bring the animation data of the camera independent of theobj, so we could only load once the obj. It costs much time to render. During the production I had a file that took four minutes to load the obj and 2 minutes to render.

Enviromnent: Turn off Primary rays of the environment, this would help much because it would not be necessary to make masks for different situations

Save Files: To save a image with alpha, it´s really important.

Other features are already planned, so I will not cite them. I think I commented that these features are indispensable for a production, if you guys want more details I'm totally avaliable to help the software development.

Regards

I forgot the last feature:

Totally integration with Maya 2011. bazuka and I did several tests and came to the conclusion that the one maya that works well with the script is 2009, 2010 and 2011 the camera does not fit perfectly.

cya!

I did some more test and i can confirm it now, there´s no version of maya that the render will match the octane render.

I was asked about Octane Render + Maya 2011 by someone a few days ago. Only thing I could do was point him to the forum website and the plug-ins section.

It would be great to have those features in Octane one day hopefully soon.
I also would love to see this as and internal render option for Maya

I'm sure Radiance and his crew are working tirelessly toward implementing many features alot of people want. I think once production version 1.0 is released, we'll see a whole new level of interest in Octane Render from many software vendors.
