Octane Render from Otoy. My preferred renderer!

Great it works now! yes the last version seems to resolve some bugs for export.

Hello

what hair is it? did you also installed the bridge patch made by Philippe? See in the VWD forum "Daz studio 4.10 (rollback)" second page

It's also better to post in the VWD dedicated forum

it doesn't matter both are mandatory to use VWD in DS4

It has been a long time: I installed VWD in a dedicated folder (it's an independant application) The bridge: script folder in the script folder of DS4 same for plug-in At the first launch, the bridge will ask about the vwd location

all is explain in the manual

"Virtual World Dynamics" sold here and you'll need the DS4 bridge (also sold here). There's a dedicated forum at rendo

VWD is sold by Virtual Dynamic at Rendo with a bridge for Poser. It's not redundant with the clothe simulator natively inside Poser as there are functionnalities that doesn't exist in Poser. The Carrara bridge and Daz bridge are also sold by Philemot at Rendo.

Look for "VWD" in the marketplace and you will see all of them

You're welcome!

There are two ways:

without changing the texture (maps):

• It's mandatory to have the V4 UV template for G2F
• Draagonstorm auto converter can read a pz2 files and apply the map to the correct part of G2F. At the end the plug ask you to change the Uv template of G2F to use V4 template

with changing the texture

• Texture Converter converts the V4 maps to G2F and then you change the textures in the surface tab using the standard G2 template

Daz autofit tool is dedicated to convert clothes made for V4 to G2F not for character textures

Hello

last experiments and raw renders from Octane. I'm far from mastering everything but it looks promising. I must now integrate Blender in my workflow :-)

Second test!

and a problem: When I select fire in blender I have 3 meg files but when I import in Octane : nothing is rendered It also seems that with fire and smoke I only have the smoke Are there differences between the two?

So I installed Blender and followed a Youtube tutorial on smoke simulation, bake the simulation (openvbd). After some tries and errors : it seems to work!!

A very bad smoke simulation exported and rendered in Octane without any material applied. I must learn Blender now!!!

Thanks Luxxeon

It's time to learn Blender to try some tests!

Thanks Lobo for your help

I should have mention it:

• I don't have Blender and don't use any plugin but export (obj) to render in Octane stand alone.
• The last version of Octane integrate vdb file to render smoke. I tried with a sample I found in the Otoy forum and I'm impressed with the result.
• I'm now looking for a solution to generate smoke export (vdb format). Perhaps Blender could be the answer

If someone already tried or can make an export sample for me to see if it works in Octane I would be the happiest man...and perhaps a new user of blender! :-)
