Well, that was fast, thanks !

About the "coordinate space" fix in projection node,
I must warn people for scene made in previous version,
the textures using projection node may look different,
as the default is "local space" but was actually using "world space",
it's going to really use "local space" now so the projection will be changed.
(you just have to change the coordinate space to "world space" to have the same result as before).

Now "archive scene" includes the Octane dependencie files in the archive,
that's very nice but this functionnality is more than that,
the Octane pathes should also be included with other maya dependencies when listing them with mel or python,
this is especially important for pipeline TD.
And we should be able to make the File Path Editor work with Octane pathes also (first we have to register Octane nodes using the command : filePathEditor -registerType ).

Arf, I was talking too fast about the File Path Editor, I still can't make it work with Octane file path.

It seems the Octane "File" attributes still miss one thing, the MfnAttribute propertie "usedAsFilename".

Code: Select all

filePathEditor -registerType "octaneImageTexture.File" -typeLabel "Octane" ;
// Error: line 1: filePathEditor: Attribute 'octaneImageTexture.File' is invalid or is not designated 'usedAsFilename'. //

The "usedAsFilename" tag may also be important for other Maya builtin functionnalities:
for example the auto-expand feature, Maya can read path with environment variables (ex: "$PRODUCTION_DIR/myScene.ma"),
but still doesn't work with Octane File attribute. ( important feature for managing pipeline)
