Hello faceoff
Good job and I'm really interested with your plug! Here is some questions/queries:
before the demo version could we have access to the manual?
how long the beta before the target price? (I must plan it in my budget :-))
Is the octane scene saved? can I open it in octane without poser?
I'm fighting in octane with the usual two topics:
the size of the textures: I collect the scene inventory, resize textures before going in octane. Is there an automatic process? define the ratio, put the resized textures in a defined folder (same as octane scene?), point the octane scene to these resized tex and leave poser to the original textures?
the number of textures: with Octane V1 RC we have the geometry group node. With this node I split my export from poser in 2 objects, regroup them in the same geometric group in octane. So I can define my camera, lighting, ... it will be the same for the 2 objects. It's also easier to adjust materials, I make 2 renders and merge them in 2D app. I think it's easier with your plug and the visibility tag in Poser.
Are there better ways to answer these problems?
Thanks for your answers (and sorry for my bad english!)
