Dont forget that you can render at lower resolution and use Octanes AI Upscaler mode in the imager node
This will do exactly what it says. take a lower resolution render (faster) and scale it up with as little render errors to be noticed,
as if it were rendered at that 2x 4x scale.

Then you can get ...

Thats the sort of issue that popus up when your jumping between versions of LW with your scenes.
Say.. 2015, and 2020.
Remember.. LWG made upgrades to LW that revised the way it handles its scene and object files. Im not sure about 2018 and 19, but LW 2020 and up Object do not work in 2015.

Just checking to see if you got any headway on your old post in regards to LW/Octane and Aces output.

From what i gathered, Octane's LW dcc does not fully support Aces although you do see it as a file output.
Lightwave itself (2015 doesnt fully support aces) or at least i never found a proper icc ...

Older post/reply but long-standing topic

Octane will be a frame offset from lw's image sequence.
This happens both in 24fps and 23.976
crazy enough, when the actual anim is sync with the footage LW will show one frame and octane will be another but in ...

wow how cool. i know mac LW users will be happy.

Still waiting for the next PC update. looking for ACES and OCIO support.

Sorry for the late reply guys, Unfortunately im currently still on red alert project mode, so i havent had time to re-install the most recent plug-in
to retrieve that error results. but trust me it was very real and completely annoying.

Currently in back in an older working version as to get my ...

OCTANE API MSG: CUDA error 700 on device 0: an illegal memory access was encountered

Getting this renderfail constantly.
and at the worst time (of course)

Im guessing it pertains to the main standalone because i switched back to the pervious none 2020 dcc LW and the error still came up.
First ...

Question?.
IS lightwave DCC UV's limited to only 3?

In octanes materials, the toggle only lists for 3 UV options, is there a way to increase or select the named UV from the object?
