OTOY Forums

Congrats on the release of the new software...looks promising. As new licensed user of Octane, I'm at a loss for finding any instruction on how to hook up nodes(past looking at the videos). What do they mean and what are the essentials needed to get going with a render?

Hi,

There is currently no specific tutorial about node management,
and i would recommend for now you use the node inspector to swap nodes.

You can use octane %100 with the node inspector.
The nodegraph is only used is specific scenarios where you want to share a material many times,
or to build more complex procedural materials once we've added the nodes to do so,
currently there is no real need for it yet, but there will be soon.

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how to even get started.

After importing objects, how do you link them together so they can all be seen in the viewport at once, and many simple thing such as this? I'll wait for a "getting started" tutorial of some type before diving in.

Just read the included manual and watch our videos on the videos page,
we're preparing new tutorials, but they won't be available for atleast another few days...

There should be more than enough information in the manual and existing video tuts though.

Never mind, I'm stupid. I just saw the PDf documentation. I'll use that.

Hi, people

My first post heheh, somewhat noobie question-

I've downloaded demo version of Octane Render (and i like it btw), and i cannot find .pdf manual/documentation mentioned here? Also browsing the site, i cannot find it...Am i blind or what

Is there any available? Thanks.

Hi,

We currently provide manuals with commercial releases for licensed customers.
We're currently building new tutorial/getting started videos for people who want to try the demo.

Thanks for the quick response.

Those videos on site are very informative already. Looking forward for new ones too:)

Cheers
