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).

FIXES AND NEW FEATURES SINCE LAST RELEASE

Merged with Blender 2.73.
Switched to 2.21.1 engine.
Mute function for Octane nodes is implemented (select node, press "M").
Now you can choose in render settings what for HDR you need to render - tonemapped or not.
Added Octane render layers. You can set the layer ID in the mesh's Octane properties and enable layers in Octane Layers properties. Global mesh is always on layer "1".
Added new passes: "Shadows", "Black shadows", "Colored shadows", "Layer reflections", "Render layer ID", "Render layer mask".
Added Octane Noise texture.
Added "Affect alpha" attribute to specular material.
Removed "Keep environment" attribute from kernels.
Removed "Start samples" attribute from passes settings.
Fixed the camera rotation bug.
Fixed imager presets bug.
Minor fixes...

Installation:
- Just run the installer to see its command line keys.

Looks like some process already uses the ports, perhaps another OctaneServer process...

You can check who uses it by "lsof -i", something like this:

Code: Select all

lsof -i | grep 5130

Excellent! Any chance for the git repo to be updated? Thanks,

I compiled the plugin and it appeared to work, no errors at least. But when I try to turn rendering on in the viewport or for a full render I get a huge list of linker errors.

Code: Select all

Octane: ERROR: Tried to access pin via an invalid ID P_RENDER_PASS_POST_PROCESSING (155)
Tried to access null node pin
Tried to access pin via an invalid ID P_RENDER_PASS_POST_PROCESSING (155)

...

This just with the default cube and no other changes. I have made sure that I'm not trying to do render passes, etc. Maybe it's something in my config that is passed on to this new version from the old? Let me know if you would like the full error list, it's very long.

Thanks,

Jason

After I went to Mint 17.1 all works fine like a charm! No lib links any more, no nothing!

(Well, except the blacklisting of neuvau and the installemnt of nVidia drivers from their site)
