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

• Fixed the live-preview lag.

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.

Hi,

When can we expect to fill in different IP than 127.0.0.1 and render on dedicated machine ?

And what the problem?

Locking to cursor doesn't work, has anyone else that problem?

Cant Download, Keep getting this message "Request expired. Email [email protected] if you continue to see this message."

Locking for cursor in 2.75 its not a problem, its original new feature. To change camera view feom cursor now u must press HOME.

Are there any plans another algorithm of a motion blur? As drafted it greatly increases rendering time, especially if it's animation. For example In cycles there is no such dependence. Cycles have no "motion blur samples", it has only a size of the blur track.

EDIT: And of course now it is working, a restart and 5 min later


I have just installed my computer again(format and upgrade) and installed Octane Blender, Ovtane standalone, Octane Server...

But i am having trouble with the Live DB, when i try to open det "window" i freeze Blender for 2 min, and then appear, just the window no db, and then Blender is very laggy.

It has worked before very well, also with these versions (latest server, standalone, Blender)

Is there something i am missing?
I saw in my account page under LiveDB, it says "No LiveDB items found." But what is that? i have always used the DB since it was available in Standalone Beta.

Is it a Windows 10 problem?, i have moved from 7 to 10 - 64bit (if it is, its the very first problem on my computer regarding win10)

Thx
Kris
