The odds of the timing.

Worth mentioning that the vast majority of features as written in the YouTube chapter names, are already available in the Universal Camera (the page is a work in progress).

Rendered in Octane 2024:

As always thank you for your great comments and all the work you do on your homepage.

Please allow me one question.

Why do work in Octane Standalone and what is your workflow ?

[skientia]

For the informational purposes of the website, Standalone "neutral nature" is better suited.
Favoring Standalone over plug-in integration in available 3D DCCs is a deliberate choice that offers several advantages:

• access to the core engine and functions, including alpha and beta
• no 3D DCC form of "data parsing" (as it goes to all renderer), data is rendered "directly"
• allows to take "3D DCC bias" off the equation, figuratively
• Standalone workflow is analogous to a certain type of VFX software such as Katana, Gaffer, the late Clarisse, etc (deferred, scene assembly)

To only mention a few.

Ultimately, this page (Standalone Overview) will cover all the aforementioned aspects of the program and beyond.

The plug-in integrations have their own merit, all of which are dependent on multitudinous subjective factors.

I don´t use the universal camera because it is too buggy in Blender.

Not even the Focal Lenght can be adjusted.

Was a bug report ever posted on the forum or sent to the devs?
If the community is able to trouble-solve this impediment, it is worth considering posting under the Octane Blender sub-forum.

Be sure I am actively posting bugs but there are quite many and there are some pressings ones for me right now.

Overall I love octance but the bug situation in Blender is quite hard on me right now. All the support is great don´t get me wrong but a lot of work to do.

Universal Camera (and Focal Length) works fine here.

Can you please make a report with content for any issue you may have in Octane for Blender?

Thanks!

I tested it in 29.16 Blender Octane version and it works. But this has the crashing issue on my end.

29.13 Addon version does not work.

Will do more testing when the crashing is fixed.

Which crashing issue?
