Network Rendering
For Network Rendering, you must use the Octane slave release from the Octane Standalone installer which matches the exact Octane version of the plugin you are using.

If you have a support issue, pls provide the following information:
- Modo version
- OctaneRender for Modo version (ie. 2.0.10.16)
- Operating System (ie. Win XP, Vista, 7, 8)
- Amount of RAM
- Graphics Card(s) - model (ie. GTX 580, 3GB)
- Nvidia driver version

The most important part of resolving a problem is me being able to re-produce that problem. So pls provide as much detail as possible in order for me to do this, and if the problem is specific to the scene, send me the scene.

Paul, the nishita sky model is displayed in the options, but selecting it, goes back to new model.

Having the same issue with nishita sky model.

Thanks. This will be fixed in the next release of the plugin.

Hi Paul,

just did the transition from RC4 to RC7 and there seem to be an issue with orbx mesh proxies.

If I move a mesh item which is defined as a orbx proxy the position ob the object is not updated in the render viewport any more. Keyframed objects seem to work.

Is my explanation understandable?

Best,
David

Hi David - I have fixed this issue in the next release.

Hi Paul,

super cool, couldn't be happier with Octane.

Keep up the brilliant work.

Best,
David

Having issues with motion blur and Dynamic Replicators. I know how to setup motion blur with octane so this might be a bug?

Can somone try test with Dynamic Replicators so we can confirm the bug.

I suspect this is because the plugin does not currently directly support object motion blur for replicators (but it is planned soon). Instead, use the octane.saveAnimation command and render in Octane Standalone.
