Configuration
In the Settings tab of the OctaneRender Setup Window is a Configuration button. The OctaneRender for AutoCAD plugin does all the conversion of the AutoCAD scene to Octane for you. However, there are some settings which you can tune to speed up your workflow. Mouseover each of the settings for more details.
In summary:
- Progressive Save Enabled – Tick to have the plugin save the render every “Save Interval” samples. Useful for analysis to determine have many samples are required for a render to be finished.
- Image Save Format – the format that the Viewport image will be saved as when you click the Save button on the Rendering tab.
- Solid Triangulation Level of Detail – Specifies the Level of Detail for Solids that get loaded into Octane. Smaller nummbers give a finer level of granularity, but slower load times.
- Solid Smoothing Angle – Specifies the smoothing angle (in degrees) for Solids.
- Surface Triangulation Level of Detail – Specifies the Level of Detail for Surfaces that get loaded into Octane. Smaller numbers give a finer level of granularity, but slower load times.
- Max Number of Polygons – The maximum number of polygons that can be loaded into the Octane scene. Larger numbers require more memory to load.
- Display Diagnostics -Enables printing of scene load diagnostic messages when the Viewport is opened.
- Scene Scale Factor – Scales the entire scene by this value. Scale ‘mm/inches’ scenes up by 10-100 and ‘kilometers/miles’ scenes down by 10-100 if you are getting self-shadowing render artifacts
- Conversion – these parameters are unlikely to need to be changed, however you can mouse-over each parameter for more information.
