OTOY Forums

Here is a new version which is based latest SDK 3.03.4. This version has lot of addons and revisions over previous release. So I call that as TEST and keep until see enough positive feedbacks.
Enjoy it!

Standalone V3.03.4: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=56093

Changes of V3.03.4-R3
- Gpu usage/temp correction test in settings/devices section (win).
- Gpu overheat protection control for picture viewer renderings. It will be active after you completed a gpu devices test. (Windows)
- Small improvements on info lines for gpu usage/temp.(Windows)
- Increased amount of presets to 64 for Octane settings

Changes of V3.03.4-R2
- Fix: Stage object + camera mblur problems
- Randomtex on render instance issue

Changes of V3.03.4-R1
- Fix: Wrong camera offset in LV on unlocked res.
- New zoom option for LV with mouse wheel.
- A/B image comparison mode. New Compare menu in LV.
- Fix: Crash on Reset/stop button. Now can it break the updating operation.
- Fix: TurbulenceFD one voxel shift.
- Improvement: Initial support for Octane materials in Standard renderer.
- Improvement: Initial support for Cpu rendering of Opengl previews with alpha and texture output. Unselect "octane for OGL prevs" to activate.
- Fix: detect paint of xbitmap.
- Deprecated: Send all data, 8-Bit buffer on Render Settings. Please stay away to use these for future projects. They will be removed in some period of time. Go with "force updates" in objecttag if you have update problems.


MATERIAL STACKING LIMITATIONS
- Only works with c4d materials and octane materials and will not work with mix materials in any combination
- Works on movable meshes. So it requires to be in auto mode for LV or auto detect for PV or object tag in manual mode. Doesn't work on "Send all data" method.
- Works with flat/cube/cylindrical/spherical projection types. Tiling support. Doesn't account the current tag's UVW mapping coordinates. It takes it from previous material which has not alpha/opacity.
- Can work with selection assignments. But it's still limited on complex selection sets
- Go with mix material setups for advanced usages


Requirements:
-You'll need to update your Cinema 4D to latest versions(16.050 and 17.053). Otherwise the plugin will not work and not appear in menus.
-Internet connection for activation, be sure that C4D and Octane will not be blocked by firewall and any antivirus software.
-Updated Nvidia drivers(at least 344.x(Cuda 6.5 or later) for V2.x, Cuda 7.5 for V3.x.

Will that support only Texture-Map? Not Procedural Shader.

A/B Compare have some problem.
I use show alpha option. Empty-BG will turn white.


If possible, add horizontal compare mode.

- A/B image comparison mode. New Compare menu in LV.

Awesome.. socks.. blown...off

Thanks again Ahmet

Ops. It's initial support after a hard work. Please wait for more.

I hope you found that useful. I'll improve more.

Hi aoktar,
I have the feeling since V3.03.3-R1 the Random Color doesn't work correctly anymore.
It renders fine in LV but makes problems in PV Render.
Am I missing something?
thanks for yor amazing work!
cheers m

Thanks. It's working but need a object tag. I'll add this to "auto detect option".
EDIT: Well! I think there is a glitch if you don't put material to object of clones. It can be a bad-effect of revisions for material-mixing. I'm trying to fix.

Here is a test version with fixes for Stage+camera mblur object issue. Also covers the randomtex issue on render-instances.

Amazing work aoktar! I wrote you about C4D Paint last week, and not sure if your fix to "detect paint of xbitmap" is what did the trick, but I can paint now with that plugin and refresh the octane window with a keyboard shortcut and see nearly instant feedback. It's crazy being able to paint onto objects in a lit scene and see the results in (practically) realtime! Thanks!!!
