It happened also to me. Try to uncheck "Multi-thread for materials". After doing that I have rendered about 1200 takes without problems.

This was it, thank you SO MUCH! It also helped with random other crashes, I haven had any in a while, where before it was happening 2-3 times per work day ...

Hi there!

I'm experiencing a crash (C4D closes, sometimes the octane.dll crash dialog appears as well) when using the Takes system with Octane.

I suspect this has something to do with octane not finishing generating the materials completely when switching takes.

This crash happens if Octane is ...

Hi!

From experience - you'll want to figure out what's changed along with your card. If you didn't have problems before, a new variable is causing your problems.

Usually it's always one of these for me
- Driver - Which driver were you using with your 2080 ti? You mentioned you updated your ...

If you're unable to apply the emissive textures only to the lights via selection tags due to displacement, you can just use a mix material to mix a glossy material with an emmisive one. You can then paint a map for which parts should be emissive vs glossy and use that for the mix amount.

Thanks for your help renderingz, but unfortunately those settings didn't seem to make a difference for me (at least not in this version), beyond making the scene much slower to render due to the re sending of the scene data. I tried a number of combinations.

aoktar, the imageTexture does work, but ...

aoktar, I've tested it in the stable release of 3.06 (before it was 3.06 test 4). Still works fine in Live Viewer but does not make it to final render in picture viewer.

My workaround is to use the texture baker to bake out the layer shader into a new image sequence from C4D, and then bring it ...

Sorry, I didn't think 3.06 was out and ready.

I tested it, and it still does not work. Displacement in layer shader seems to have no influence.

sometimes caching them helps.

I'm trying to animate a displacement mix using the layer shader. Everything works great in the live viewer, but final renders have no displacement at all.

I've tried different shaders (bitmap(c4d) and ImageTexture(octane)) but ImageTexture does not allow me to animate the sequence (imagetexture ...

That's good to hear, REALLY looking forward to it. Thanks!
