I tried opening the DB in this version on multiple machines. And I was greeted with an error:
When I tried the older version 2023.1 28.10 everything was working.

I´m working on Windows 11 10.0.22361 Build 22361.

It's hard to say what is causing the issue without having the scene. If you could upload it to check we could have a look and maybe find the reason for such issue.

I understand that.
The scene is meant for further use with my patreon, so I can´t share it publicly unfortunately.
Though I gave it ...

I found a workaround for now.

Somehow I got the ORBX export working. Not sure why it was not working in my earlier test.

In the standalone there are also no load times between frames. So I could render a 150 frame sequence in about 14 minutes.
Whereas if I would have done this though Blender, it ...

Hi Raphael,

do you have some modifiers in your scene? Subdivisions or other that alter 3d meshes? In my experience when rendering animations in Octane for Blender this was always a factor that slowed down frame advancing as Blender has to "flatten" those objects before rendering every frame ...

Alright.

I made some further tests. Same exact scene on 27.17 and 28.6
I took some time to adjust all the shaders to 27.17 then saved it and opened it back up in 28.6 to do the test there.

Scene in 27.17 send to render. Time in between frames, still a rather long 60 seconds .
Though massively ...

Great to see you dabble into Blender as well, Raphael :)

Maybe this is linked to the issue that compiling scenes takes incredibly long compared to V27.16. The scenes are compiled every times I start the preview or final rendering. In a direct comparison V28.x take 8 times longer than 27.16 (32s ...

My feeling is that using Out of Core could really slow down the render in this specific case.

What about the OLS projection nodes you're using in this scene? I wonder if those can also be the cause of the slow down.

Thank you very much for having a look.
I am actually not going out of core on my ...

Oh nice.

as I said above. I will gladly do. I will DM you with the DL link for the scene!

Oh, that was a very fast answer thank you!

Actually this is not the addon version but the "OctaneRender™ for Blender 2023.1.1 - 28.6 [STABLE]"
If you say that this is occuring in the addon version. Maybe there is hope that this might be fixable in the Blender Octane built?

Cheers and thank you for ...

Hey there.
I come from Cinema 4D and lately also work with Blender.
In the last couple of weeks I have set up a blender Octane Scene.

Everything went quite well until I wanted to do the first animation test renderings.
When I have the "Viewport Shading" / Live rendering running Octane takes about ...
