OTOY Forums

I'm looking at building a system to do animation renders from Poser for a short film (29 min) I making. Is it possible to use Octane with Queue Manager? And even more importantly is it possible to do network renders from Poser with octane?

Rending Poser animations through the OctaneRender for Poser plugin is done via the "Animation" tab, and the plugin controls the rendering of each frame and saving as a png. The plugin does not use the Poser Queue Manager (because there is no python interface into the Queue Manager). Otoy is in heavy development in this area at the moment - and with the latest release of Octane, you can export from the Poser plugin to Octane Standalone, and there is a lot more to come with animations being able to be exported from the plugin. So whilst today you would need to render each animation sequence in the Poser plugin, in the near future you should be able to export that animation, copy to another PC and render it in Octane Standalone. Or you could upload each exported animation to the Otoy cloud rendering service.
