Octane for Softimage 1.02 RC12 [Obsolete]

[wireframex]

Hey Face

What do you think about Octane 3.0 Volumetric rendering ?
Is it possible to support it in next release for SI ?

Regards
Phil

Haven´t thought about it.
I also don´t know how it will be implemented inside the SDK.
If it uses only spheres as driver, it shouldn´t be a problem to include it over an ICE-Tree.
VDB´s will be more complex...

Hi face, do you have an estimated release date for an octane plugin update?, it is unusable in it's current state for animation, thank you.

I hope to release a new one in the next days.

Hi, All!
Sorry for my English!

I created mini-addon for Octane for Softimage, that adds a visual interface for longitude and latitude selection.
Updated only connected Octane Daylight Environment node. OctaneDaylightSelection window may be scaled.
Currently I did not pack addon, for install you have to unpack this archive in c:\Users\[UserName]\Autodesk\[SoftimageVersion]\Addons\OctaneForSoftimage64\ where OctaneForSoftimage installed.
To open a OctaneDaylightSelection window, use View - Others - OctaneDaylightSelection.

A cool extension!
Also a little news from me, nothing special

Great!
ICE instances, that is the best thing that I'd like to wait in the future!

Ice is nearly finished.
It is possible to use reference meshes which can be selected from a goup or as single mesh over the instance shape compound.
This implementation was simple.
I have also implement the possibility to work with all internal shapes ( Point, Segment, Disc, Rectangle, Sphere, Box, Cylinder, Capsule, Cone, Blob )
Point, Capsule and Blob will be converted into a Sphere shape.
This wasn´t so simple, i have included a base obj for each of the 6 shapes in the code.
Each PointCloud will have its own nodegraph.

In this graph i added one or more of the 6 basic shapes added a scatter on each shape and added it on a group and this to a geometry out.

The next step is to connect the ObjectLayer to the GeometryGroup which i have made by hand to see the resulting PointClouds.
I will also add a color to each shape, so that each shape can have its own color. This is limited by the old SDK

The current result will look like this:
