What’s Included

Functionality Included in this Release

Render OCS and ORBXThe ORBX file format is the best way to transfer scene files from 3D Authoring software programs that use the Octane Plug-in such as Octane for Maya, Octane for Cinema 4D, or OctaneRender Standalone. This format is more efficient than FBX when working with Octane specific data as it provides a flexible, application independent format. ORBX is a container format that includes all animation data, models, textures etc. that is needed to transfer an Octane scene from one application to another. scenes created with Octane Standalone or any of the Octane plugins. Any animated geometry or camera data from the OCS/ORBX file (in an ABC Scene Node) is tied to the Nuke timeline, so scrubbing the timeline will move the Octane time to the relevant point.
Nuke 3d geometry (Cylinder, Cube, Card, Sphere and GeoRead) can be rendered with the OctaneRender Node, or if the OctaneRender node already has an OCS/ORBX file imported, any Nuke 3d geometry will be added to the scene.
Edit Octane materials and render settings via the Octane NodeGraph editor window. Changes made in the NodeGraph window update immediately in the Nuke Viewer.
Integration with HDR Light Studio, including LightPainting by mouse clicking the Nuke Viewer.
Live updating of Nuke 3d Geometry transform changes to the Octane scene (and the Nuke Viewer). So if you move a cube, the Octane render picks the movement up immediately – no need for a scene refresh.
Access all Octane Render PassesRender passes allow a rendered frame to be further broken down beyond the capabilities of Render Layers. Render Passes vary among render engines but typically they allow an image to be separated into its fundamental visual components such as diffuse, ambient, specular, etc.. (currently 38 different passes available) in the Nuke channel.
Export an animation sequence (which can contain both import Octane geometry and Nuke 3d geometry) to ORBX or OCS for sending to a render farm.
Import Octane geometry (from ABC and OBJ Mesh nodes) into the Nuke 3d scene for visualization purposes.
The Octane camera can be controlled from a Nuke 3d Camera (connected to the OctaneRender node).
Render animation sequences via the OctaneRender node as you would with the Nuke ScanlineRender node.
Focus, MaterialThe representation of the surface or volume properties of an object., White Balance and HDR Light Studio LightPaint picking (by clicking geometry in the Nuke Viewer window) is supported.

Potential Future Functionality

Python access to the Octane scene
Add an animation node to animate Octane nodes within the Octane Node Graph
