Hi, i'm testing Octane and i'm thinking about make it default render engine in my job. I'm work with product visualization and arch.

I'm working on Rhinoceros 3d V4 to modelling and want to know how to send the light set from rhino to Octane Render. There is anyway to do that ?

thanks


And congrats!!! This program is the best i ever used before!!!

No, you can not use rhino lights in octane, obj file don't support lights, but you can use any mesh like a light source, and in octane will be IES lights soon.

Sorry asking this but how can i do it in rhino ? I use a mesh as emissive object ? Don't think its possible in rhino =/

You have to pick any mesh in rhino and assign any material for example "light".
Export obj.
Open scene in octane, look for material "light", and assign for it diffuse material with blackbody or texture emission.
You can decrease intensity for environment and increase intensity for blackbody.

I will try and talk if worked soon.

Thanks a lot

I'm kind feeling stupid.... i can't do it. Must to buy the license to see this options ? There is nowhere in diffuse settings material to like "emissive" I'm thinking that i really noob in this program =/


could you explain more detailed ? sorry about this, i really new to the program, i only render with v-ray for rhino before this..

I thing, in demo version is not this options, you have to buy full version. 99 € is nice price.
And in full version are a lot of new features compare to demo.
I can compare between vray and octane, and octane is much more better then vray for me.
Speed and quality is incredible.

Unfortunately, the current demo is quite old and mesh lights are not included. Hopefully, a new demo with all of the new features will be forthcoming.

I relly don't know if i buy the program now or wait to see how it works. I will need to do everything i do in vray if i change my workflow to Octane Render and i use Rhinoceros.

Anybody have the license and use Rhino here ?

Thanks

Good to know ! Octane is really not expensive... $99 its almost free to a software like this. But i don't want to buy another software to put side and never use. I'm almost buying just to see the hole thing ! hauahuahua
