I've been using Octane for years now, but I am very confused right now.

I sent a file to render last night and while my camera moves fine, all objects in the viewport are not moving but just static.

All objects in the scene are Moveable Proxies.

I'm on Octane 4.05 and 4.05 - 6.23 Max Plugin

Hi designandcode,
I would not use shadow pass compositing in your case, I would recommend you to use and shadow catcher and render layer on the fly.

Hi Paride,

we're still having this issue - we have a full license from years ago and do not seem to have access to the 2018.1 version of Octane.

Has this problem been fixed in any of the Octane 4.xx releases?

Hi paride, thank you for response - I assume this was intended for me.

I have just switched over to OctaneRender_2018_1_RC4, but the problem is still present. It doesn't look like I have any access to later versions with my regular license.

We're kind of stuck now not being able to render this ...

Hi there,

I'm having issues with noise in the Layer Shadows Render Pass. Interestingly enough, if I render a full beauty pass, I don't get any of the noise that appears in the shadow pass. I'm used to the noisy edges, but this time i also have a lot of noise in the actual shaded areas. Please see ...

Thanks for fixing the slice modifier issue, works perfectly now!

Same issue here with slice modifier.
If rendering doesn't begin to the first animated slice frame the object isn't rendered and i'm still under v3 ...
Big issue, i hope at least it will be corrected also for v3 ...

If you're able to upgrade, it's now been fixed in the v4.02 - 6.13 version ...

If anyone else ever has this problem and wants to render through the Max Backburner:

We ended up splitting each scene into multiple backburner jobs, each job beginning at the very first frame the sliced object started to become visible. That worked ok. Using the same backburner job but specifying ...
