OTOY Forums

I think that I have only one day left in my studio to persuade others to get Octane into our production.
So far everything was working perfectly and stable but when I came to batch rendering in Maya, troubles, slowdowns and failure.
At this point I can deal with the slow render but the problem is that I have the render going on but the files are not really getting written on the disk, even that it shows like that the frames are rendered.

I tried Maya 13, 14 and 15 as well as many different file locations on the different disks.

I have been testing at the end only with the simple one ball scene and I have the same issue.

Please help ASAP if possible.

If you are using the DEMO version - it is one of DEMO restrictions. You can't save any files from the plugin in this version.
About slowdown - there is the special fine tuning in Maya plugin which was developed especially to dramatically speedup the animations. So, instead of rendering the full frames, loading the full amount of geometry each frame again and again - you could eliminate loading the parts which do not change between frames. You can read it in manual:

Thank you very much for your quick response, I still have time to impress my team, I can maybe render frame by frame and put together a quick animation.

Yes, I am using DEMO version but let's please sure that we are talking about the same limitations.

I can, for example save Maya scene file with octane components.
Also I can go in Maya render window and save the rendered frame without any problem (watermark is the only limitation) but when I comes to only batch rendering then files are not being saved even that Maya batch is rendering and showing the file path but they aren't really being written on the disk.

Thank you very much, Vuk.

I am sure that at one point I tried with the simple scene ball rendering 10 frames with the Batch render in Maya and it worked, but only ones, shaders were not corresponding but it seamed like it was generally functioning.
Is it possible to try your full version without any restrictions for couple of days?
