Hi all,

This is new build which is based on Octane 2.05. Please keep updated Standalone version to plugin for Network Rendering

Changes for 2.05.0
- Same changes of Standalone 2.05. Please read for critical change on exposure behaviour: Exposure is now independent of the gamma. I.e. changing gamma does not change the whitepoint anymore.

calculation for new exposure for old scenes: More details in Standalone 2.05 topic: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=41404

Others changes:
- saving user materials to livedb to can be recognised by Standalone

Very cool, thanks Ahmet. Gonna test a bit now !

edit: Note to others trying this who might be as stupid as me , remember to upgrade the C4D plugin in your account as well as the standalone license or it wont run. The plug upgrade is free for a limited time.

How upgrade and activate installed 1.xx plugin to 2.00? I download and install 2.00, but after loading C4D reports "...wrong UserID\password combination..." Where get right ID and password? Standalone version installed and working well. Thx

same here

Already Upgrade. But My C4D Octane Account Still 1.x

Eyeonestudio how did you upgrade plugin?

It doesn't just appear in the account. You have to go back to the upgrade page with the blue truck on (at the 'home' of the site)and click upgrade again. Then, it pops up just the plugin upgrade, for 39.95. But when you actually go to buy it, it's free.
Now your cinema plugin license is upgraded to 2.0 & you don't have to do anything more.

in the displacement example nothing happens...

how to use the displacement?

displacement is not working yet it seems!
