Here is new topic for version 3.07 Test3a which is based on a SDK(3.07 Test3).[/b].
You can find a detailed description of the new 3.07 features of Standalone in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=62395
Changes of 3.07
- New InstanceColorID support for objects/particles.
- New textures: InstanceColor, InstanceRange, Baking texture, UvwTransform texture.
- Volume object update detection
- Node editor: Undo/redo update issue on embedded editor with node parameters
- Fix: Crashes with Meshno>3 on Object tag
- Scatter object: Animated/deformed objects support on distribution slot. Fix wrong weights on effectors. Fix unnecessary calculation on camera navigation. Instance color support. Shader effector UV support.
- Initial colorID support for particles/scatter object.
- Fix: Broken "-exportORBX" commandline parameter.
- Better Camera MotionBlur processing for fixing some issue of CamMoblur detection.
- Fix: Triplanar bug on handling of initial channel.
- Triplanar node, single texture improvement.
- Change: Internal diffuse color changed from gray to black for internal material of Light Tags. It may cause a small amount difference on results of illumination effect.
- Floor object support added. Tiling from texture tags will not work. So use transform nodes in textures for scaling.
- Node Editor: Solo mode for textures
- Several small fixes

Installation
First remove all octane related stuff from plugins and main folder of Cinema4D.
Extract all files to Cinema4D\plugins\c4dOctane directory.
Also download manual.zip and extract to c4dOctane directory if it's not available in place.
There are a few files for each one is for different Cinema4D version. Remove all except the file is for your version.
Ex. if you have Cinema4D R18.0, keep only "c4dOctane-r18.cdl64" and delete c4dOctane-r17.cdl64, c4dOctane-r16.cdl64, c4dOctane-r15.cdl64, etc..
Cinema 4D Release 13: c4dOctane-r13.cdl64
Cinema 4D Release 14: c4dOctane-r14.cdl64
Cinema 4D Release 15: c4dOctane-r15.cdl64 or c4doctane_R15_demo.dylib
Cinema 4D Release 16: c4dOctane-r16.cdl64 or c4doctane_R16_demo.dylib
Cinema 4D Release 17: c4dOctane-r17.cdl64 or c4doctane_R17_demo.dylib
Cinema 4D Release 18: c4dOctane-r18.cdl64 or c4doctane_R18_demo.dylib
Cinema 4D Release 19: c4dOctane-r19.cdl64 or c4doctane_R19_demo.dylib

Super awesome update! Love the fact that we can use shaders in the displacement channel now utilizing the baking texture.
However I feel like it slows down workflow tremendously. Each time I make a change it locks up Cinema for a few seconds. I understand this because it's baking the texture, which takes time. However this also happens when I make a change to a channel that's unrelated to the baking texture. For example I have the baking texture set to the displacement channel with a marble texture as input. Whenever I adjust another channel (like color) it locks up Cinema, I asume because it's baking.
Are you planning on resolving this in any way? Maybe you could add a button that prevents the baking texture from rebaking, like a lock. So we can work on other channesl with the speed and ease were used to
Just some ideas!

Or even better would be a button in the baking texture node, which ONLY bakes the new texture when the button is pressed.supermassive wrote:Super awesome update! Love the fact that we can use shaders in the displacement channel now utilizing the baking texture.

And also a checkbox in the node which says "Automated baking", which can be turned off, so it does not automatically bake the texture.
i haven't had any time to check livedb. I'll do.Studio21 wrote:Rad stuff Ahemet, ty. love the solo mode as well for nodes, ive been asking for this!
Local DB still crashes on me though

I don't know if this is where we post bugs/problems for this build but I Just tried scatter with animated deformed plane and it's a bit dodgy.
Left is scatter, right is regular cloner
Cloner looks clean while scatter keeps creating/deleting points.
Scene setup (just a simple animated noise shader on the displacer)

Trails? How do you make a setup? They are hair objects for octane and it's different to use with colors.Studio21 wrote:Is it possible to have the same functionality on trails as well (like Cycles4d), or is it restricted to particles only for now?
