Hi All,
This is very quick test/preview release of plugin which is based on V4-XB2 SDK. We recommend that you mention that it is experimental, they should not use it for production work, and that we cannot guarantee backward compatibility.

Please see this thread for V4 features: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=66013

Important notes:
Since XB2 Preview, we have dropped support for Fermi cards.
Network render is still disabled.
Denoiser does not denoise volumes or hairs yet.
Denoiser is under Camera Imager from Settings or Camera Tags. Just denoised beauty pass is available in plugin, others will be added.


Addons for plugin side
- Viewport rendering: Activate from Live Viewer/Octane dialog options menu. Keep open the one of these windows during the render session.
- Node Editor: Experimental float sliders on nodes. Need to activate from "settings->nodes->embedded gui".
- Node Editor: Show/hide options for node pins.
- New help system, updated manual(it's still wip). Access by help icons from nodes/etc..
- Several minor fixes.

Thanks!

Thanks for getting the mac version posted so quickly! Excited to try it out once my download finishes.

Looking really promising Ahmet!

Is Out of Core geometry enabled in this version? And if yes, can you tell me where it is enabled?

I'm curious to know if AI Light and AI scene are always enabled and part of the core, or if those features are yet to come?

From what I've seen, the denoising looks great., but I'm also wondering why denoising doesn't kick in till 100-150 spp when I have it set well below that with 'denoise on completion' turned off? Hopefully denoised beauty will kick in sooner in later builds. Working great so far - thanks again.

Aoktar,

Fantastic news, but i am struggling to find where top download the standalone XB2 files from, the link provided only has the old XB1 for download

Cheers

Nuge

Am i right in assuming that the denoiser won't render in the main pass, it must be rendered out in the beauty pass?

Great news !
Which version of the standalone is needed?

ps/ [This is very quick test/preview release of plugin which is based on V4-XB2 SDK]
