The Linux version of OctaneRender™ for Blender plugin, 64-bit.


The bundle consists from two parts:
1. OctaneRender™ Server
2. Blender - OctaneRender™ edition.

The first part (server) should be run on the same computer as the second one..
After the server is run - you can start rendering (or open a rendered view) from inside Blender. Before the very first rendering you should fill in the server address (only 127.0.0.1 at the time), login and password (your license key info) to activate the server. After the first rendering the server will remember this activation info, and you will not need to enter it again.

You should use only OctaneRender materials inside Blender scenes - the plugin knows nothing about Blender specific materials and textures (about any Blender nodes, generally speaking).

• Switched to Blender 2.72
• A lot of fixes and improvements

Thank you for your work

Still can't export animation to video
Anyone else?

Hi Synthercat, does not work for me too.
My own build is working.
May it is easier to render animation to png, exr and use regular Blender version to make a movie out of it until Jim fixed this.
It is better anyway to render to an image strip.

Cheers, mib
