OctaneRender™ for Blender plugin. Windows x64 version.


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. To stop the server - just right-click its icon in the tray.
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

• Added Octane "out of core" settings.
• Fixed "Tonemapped HDR" checkbox bug.

After starting OctaneServer it will take some time before the LiveDB tree and LiveDB material previews will be available from Blender - as OctaneServer caches the LiveDB data from remote server right after starting. But only the materials groups tree will be re-cached every time after server start, LiveDB material preview images will be cached only once - so only the very first OctaneServer start will need some more time before LiveDB tree will be available in Blender.

Hello!

I am very interested in the motion vector pass. Is it not implemented in the Blender plugin yet? I can only find it in the stand alone.

I exported an Alembic file to be able to use the stand alone, but the camera animation did not transfer. Is this the way it is, or have I missed a check box some where?

Cheers!

Nice, but still have the problem with "emissive texture node".
Not works with version upper than Blender Octane Edition - 7.0 (2.72) / Octane Server - 2.15 - 7.0.
My driver is 344.11 under windows 7 x64. My cards are two Geforce 670 4 gb.

Here the problem :
Checked the texture in diffuse channel, no pb : Not works with flat color too

No problem with version Blender Octane Edition - 7.0 (2.72) / Octane Server - 2.15 - 7.0 : Don't know why not works but can be a problem if need a texture as light source

IES-Files are also not working later than 2.15.
