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

• Fixed nodegraph bug affected some nodes interconnections (thanks MattRM).
• Fixed the emission nodes inconsistency.

Installation:
- Just run the installer to see its command line keys.
- If you need to run the OctaneServer - run it as daemon:
DOWNLOAD

Blender Octane Edition - v7.5 Linux (96.3MB autoinstaller file)

// When I try to open it it stays for a second then it closes. Am I doing anything wrong? - Restarted linux and it opens now

But how do I select octane render as a render engine? - fixed - enable Haddon just like in win

However last part is most challenging. What driver version I need to make blender octane version see the GPU's? And where exactly I enable the server? I tried typing the command written here in the terminal but doesn't seem to do anything. On windows this was easy

Sometimes you have to enable Octane in Addons again.
