Octane for Daz3d

bryancook42

What is up with this "slow as [molasses] addon for Daz3d.  

It started out great, nice renders, fast as "Speedy Gonzolez" and now it takes "FOREVER"  to load a "scene preset" and even worse, every character created before the installation of OCTANE, has "WHITE" legs.  

Granted, it is much faster than IRAY when rendering, but it bogs down the system when loading and changes things, which it should not have an effect upon until "I GIVE IT PERMISSION."

I am new to Daz3d, but this is not normal.

This is the issue I am having.  I created a character, just basic, no hair, eyebrows, gens, etc...  It only had a few minor changes to body type, bigger breasts and bottom, and a few tattoos, no changes to the "skin".  through trial and error, I have learned to create basic body, then morphs, then tattoos, then skin(tanning, freckles or whatever. as long as it is not a skin color change), before adding "gens" or "HD nipples, Lickalisous or whatever else".  I saved this character nearly 2 days ago, the renders sucked, but not entirely terrible.  I found OCTANE, great, much faster renders, "very true", IRAY is like molasses running uphill in the dead of winter.  However, load times, with OCTANE installed, are "ridiculous" and OCTANE changed everything.  I cannot even "preview" a scene in IRAY without some funky quirk changing what I saw less than a day ago.

I am sure it is a "me" problem, but has anyone else had a similar issue and found a way to fix it.

Or do I have to start over again and recreate my character.
