Hello
I'm using C4D and the external octane render 1.2
I have a costumer where I will have to render an image in at least 27000*15000 pixels in the x,yd
Anybody has any idea how to do that - Octane only allows about 8000+ in x

Any help would be VERY VERY much appreciated

Best regards
Arne Rasmussen

Fairly sure that limit increased in later versions.

Hi Arne,

You can render the image in tiles. For example render 4x2 (8 tiles) of size 6750x7500 each and use lens shift to offset between tiles. Stitch them together in another app.

We were planning on providing a Lua script to render big resolutions but we haven't had time yet.

cheers,
Thomas

Thanks for the quick reply - I've found out about the tiles, and using render animation in the c4d-octane plugin seems to work. However you are talking about lens-shift - whats that - and how do i go about that - is that in C4D i shal use a lens-shift camera or is it in Octane?

Regards
Arne

Thanks for reply

Yes - it's probaly better in 1.5 - but i dont like to work with that one

Lens-shift is a property of the thinlens camera in Octane. It shifts the image plane horizontally or vertically.

You should be able to just liad up your 1.2 file in 1.5 and make the resolution higher. You will need a lot of vram to hold the image though. And there may have been changes to some properties since then.

Also, in 1.5 , if you dont have the extra vram, you can make a serapate render target for each lens shift and then run a batch render script to to automate the process so you dont need to swap out each render. Either way, 1.5 will make your life easier
