Supported Geometry and Features

Geometry

Octane for LightWave can load all geometry available in the scene, but currently Octane doesn't support complex polygons or polygons with holes. To avoid artifacts user must work only with 3 or 4 vertex polygons. If you have complex geometry it is best to triple these polygons in the Modeler before working with them in Octane.

Object Properties

warning

Please note that not all Object Properties are supported by Octane
