great....demo version when?

PD...lights converts in black body emitters...IES patterns as well?????

demo version when?

Yes - in a couple of weeks time.

lights converts in black body emitters...IES patterns as well?????

Yes - http://render.otoy.com/manuals/Revit/?page_id=79. Once you have an IES light setup, export the material for later use on other lights, or save as a Favourite for even quicker application to other materials.

Super!!!!

I have posted a new version. Download from the links at the top of this thread.

1.20a5
- Detects when there is no "Project Browser" scene element (which may happen on non-English version of Revit) and gives a warning rather than raising an exception. If you get this warning, pls tell me the version of Revit you are running, and the name of the "Project Browser".
- Added "arborescence du project" as the project browser location to attempt to rectify the issue with locating the project browser element on the French version of Revit
- Added additional diagnostic information if the plugin is unable to be authenticated

What way to atempt changing the maping of Octane material?

What way to atempt changing the maping of Octane material?

Nice work!

If you are using Revit 2014, the UV mapping will be as per the geometry - so you can adjust the Octane material "image" -> "diffuse" -> "scale" to enlarge/reduce the texture. Otoy have indicated that texture rotation is probable for Octane 1.5, which will give you more options. Also, if you are using the LiveDB materials, you can adjust the texturemap scale in the "Settings".

Does that answer your question?
