Should texture compression option on an ImageTexture node should work in this release?
To me this seems to be broken / not working as expected and documented.

Whatever option I pick: the VRAM usage after reloading the scene does not seem to change at all.
Clearing the texture buffer using the menu ...

Yes sorry, both CryptoObjectNode and CryptoObjectPinName are working with Object Layer/Octane Object Tag, while CryptoMaterialPinName works with polygon selections.

Hi Beppe,

I want to have mattes for each hierarchy of objects.
Each hierarchy consists probably of hundreds of objects ...

I would like to use the 2020.1 R2 plugin to export projects from Cinema4D as animated ORBX via the command line to render them in Octane standalone. Unfortunately the following command always gets stuck. However, the export works via the GUI. Does the command need additional parameters?

We have got one issue:

Whenever this error occurs all card are reported to have 0 ...

Hm, I think in any multi user setup you ...

Hi rschrem,
no sorry, you have misunderstood, I was talking about the differences between Octane net render, where no assets must be shared, and Team render that needs to do that.
There is any incompatibility between c4DOctane and Team render, if you set up everything correctly everything works as ...

c4d team render need that all the machines involved have all plugin installed (even QuickTime) because the entire scene and assets must to be sent to all machines.
You can use the total power of team render only in Picture Viewer /Batch.


Does this mean the C4D octane plugin does NOT support the ...

I've tested this and everything is working fine![/quote]

Hm, I added a screenshot. Did you also use Cinema R16 and the latest version of octane plugin?
