OTOY Forums

Hi all,

This is last version of Cinema4D plugin. Plugin has several minor improvements/bugfixes over 2.05. Also i'm happy to reveal new Node Editor's test version. It can be accessed by "NG" button on Octane Window. Please don't forget it may not be safe for your critical works. It's still under heavy development and will be updated soon.
Enjoy it,
Ahmet

Thanks a lot

Concerning the node System: Are there any advantges over the normal system? Can you achieve more? Or is it "only" another workflow?

YES!
Thank you, Ahmet!

Thank you Aoktar, Node Editor is very much appreciated!

thanks guys. I hope that you could solved the usage little bit. it's not so complex and works better while render session active in live viewer. I have still work to do, will be better soon

you're welcome.

this is a visual tool for features currently available. nothing is new yet. but I think that will expose to see power of current features. we had some limitation because of c4d gui. I'm going to try integrate better all features of Octane

I just updated to 2.06 and now i get ERROR: Could not connect to Server.
I work just fine yesterday and eben 2.05 isn't working anymore. Stan alone works just fine. Any idea what happened?:/

Edit: Disabled Kaspersky and now it worked, did you change something regaridng the activation process?
Edit2: Thanks for the info about the Node System^^

this process is not done by plugin so i have no idea

The subdivision level in the object tag crashes cinema. when turned to 1 and rendered.

Hi Ahmet,

thanks very much for new version!
Node Editor looks very promising.

I know its the wrong section, sorry!
But what I really urgent would need is a node
for "saturation" and "color hue" like in the C4D-filter shader.
This would be such a great time saver.

If I try to use C4D filter shader, Octane/C4D crashes

Is this difficult to implement this?

thanks
MIke
