OTOY Forums

Only two changes...

Fixed in this version:

• Octane should now render the complete animation.
  I check every 100ms if Octane is running and read the percent load.
  If the load is 0, i attach a true to a queue.
  If the load is <> 0, i delete the queue.
  If the queue lengt is 300, means 300x100ms=30sec, the process is killed and the frame will rerendered without export.
  You will also see a message on which frame Octane is killed like this: "Octane Termated on Frame x"
• Strands are now exported correct if you rotate the PointCloud.

I hope that the kill stuff works correct and it would be nice if someone can test it

Enyoj!

Edit:
You need the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64/x86 Runtimes and Redistributeables!

Have found an issue that spherical area lights damage the obj-file in this version.
Problem was solved and the zip is updated.

Thank you thank you thank you for taking care of this! I'll put on a render now... I'll report tomorrow morning!

Im so dependant on Octane now its ridiculous. This has been a major problem last couple of weeks.. I keep my finger crossed!

Wonderful Face!! I went crazy and shut down my processkiller, and just trusted you new exporter.. No missing frames, no freezes, nothing.. It was just done in the morning! Will try a scene I had great difficulties with in the past tonight!

Good to know
I hope that you become the "Octane terminated on frame X" message in the script editor window.
Then i know, it works correct...

Just wanted to say that I don't have experienced any problems since your fix

It would help me if you can check the script editor window, if there is a message that octane is terminated on frame x?
But nice to that it works

Never seen that message yet actually.. I've checked from time to time, but haven't received that termination message yet :I Now I just render, render and render hahaha

I haven't seen the message either, but last night i managed to render 500 HD frames in a row, and that is a first. Great job, thanks! ;]

I have one question / request: could we get a slider to animate Stereo Distance in some future version?
