Layer Options
Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2016 6:59 pm
The Layering system in octane is really attractive, however i had one small request that i think could make it great! Would it be possible to define visibility properties of obj when its on a layer other than its own.
For example:
Layer 1 - Environment
Layer 2 - Car sitting in this environment
Car - A Visibility option defines that on non native layers this car will not have camera visibility , only shadow. This would allow Layer 1 and to to be rendered separate but composite together and i dont have to manually change the geo's camera or shadow visibility every time I want this render layer to be output. Its not a big deal to manually do this now but could be a simple thing to implement.
Another feature that is needed is to allow items (lights) to be on all layers.
Also is there a way to define what layer environment mediums appear on?
Thanks,
Shane
