OctaneRender™ for LightWave™ 2.0 preview

[juanjgon]

Hello folks,

In this thread I am going to post information about the new features of OctaneRender™ for LightWave™ 2.0 along the development process.

First one: Displacement mapping, really awesome !!!

That is going to be really great.

[Escelce]

A really excellent addition. Cant wait to see more and thanks again for all the hard work on this.

very promising... thanks for this thread
as you said "awesome", i gather the computing-time for the displacement ( it seems we can talk about micro-displacement, considerating your example ) is near realtime, no ?
Does this process require a lot of GPU memory to obtain such fine details ?

***edit***
after detailing the screenshot , it seem to be 40mb used, which is low

[gordonrobb]

Awesom. Can I confirm that unlike normal displacement, this does not need to have the polys to support it? ie lots of subdivision levels?

[FrankPooleFloating]

Juanjo buddy, you aren't going to be posting only one image a day, are you? That would just be cruel. More please. And step on it!

[juanjgon]

Other example, with only one quad polygon, all working in real time

Holy shit!.. You have to be effing kidding me!... Juanjo, we do not need to have subpatch at all? This all happens in GPU with little memory hit?

*mind races with possibilities*

Yes, you don't need a subpatch object and memory hit is really low
