Thanks for the tip on increasing the detail, it helped. It was bothering me that I wasn't getting waves beyond the grid and it looks like the setting in Octane Preferences id the trick. Always PreRender for liquid. That also increased detail.

IM still getting this error after downloading the dlls to the correct folder and re-installing Octane. Why has it always been so hard to install Octane? Since the beginning of time. If I hit the download button in the interface, it completes and then this pops up, I hit OK and then it says ...
