OTOY Forums

is it possible, or will be .. to "paint" a small section of the image, to focus all gpu-power there, like you
can do in iRay.. ?
a regular selection box would do fine too .. if its cheaper to implement.
it seems very usefull .. idk if its already existing, i just tried this renderer very briefly..

Hi,

i might implement something along these lines in the near future.

Radiance

Radiance would you add a batch render grid to a model. So the image you see can be split up in say 9 amount of squares then rejoined as one large image.

1 1 1
1 1 1

you could effectively have insane resolutions for batch render. I got models that require massive prints. This method the pro's out there would drool over :0).

Scenario

REnder the viewport as you want it. Press grid button select number of slices. Press multi slice batch render button, it automatically zooms in parallel to xyz with 9 center points and leave it do its job. Save to disk for automatic rejoining.

(9 grid image at 1920x1200 per square)

would give 17280x 10800 resolution... awsome for A0 prints. :0)

Another feature.

I don't know why the scale is off maybe im exporting an object in the wrong units. But I keep losing my object in octane.

So either a camera reset button or/and Align /front/back/top/bottom to nearest object. (or maybe a list of objects in the scene if thats possible with obj)

Hi,
This is difficult to implement, especially with MLT, which will end up making the different images have different average brightness.
Maybe in the future, but i'd like to focus on basics for now...

Yeah, others have requested this too.
i've got it on my todo list...

like render region in xsi its the most usefull thing about rendering in xsi. So if its not much to do ,then i will be pleased with such a thing in Octane.

I have 1 question:
where is your TODO list pls?

in website is incomplete? http://www.refractivesoftware.com/features.html ** planning feature

thnx
