just wanted to update in case anyone else come across this issue.

I realize now the reason the material generation was slow is due to a network issue not related to octane or C4D. My workstation was recently moved to a new switch which likely has created an unreliable connection to networked drives ...

Have you looked at the octane texture manager? Once in there you can find/replace old paths with new ones.

as i have said both the C4D texture manager and the Octane texture manager both point the expected location after a collect; which is \tex (this is the location where the assets are, and ...

okay so at this point my only option may be manually re-point every image texture node to the new location?

heh i have around 1000 referenced texture assets for this scene

(also i updated to 4.04 and octane still generates all material previews when trying to open the node editor for a single ...

even if all the cards are the same make and model they will have variations in temp at full load, and clock speed thus resulting in slightly different OB scores.
sometimes i get a card that is 20+ lower score and i can see its running hotter at full load (maybe due to the cooler not being as ...

yes some of the paths can point to folders with maybe 50 textures in them. also i have updated to 4.04.

I guess what im still trying to figure out is why when i saved the project with assets some of the texture paths were correctly rewritten and some were not.

when i look in both the Cinema4D ...

Actually i believe i have solved this issue. when i check the logs i can see octane cannot find texture assets for the materials that are taking long to generate.

but when i look in Cinema4Ds texture manager all textures are located in tex folder as i would expect, since i saved project with all ...

I have a scene with lots of geometry and many texture references and materials which normally takes a long time to export to octane when activating the live viewer in Cinema4D. Given the number of assets and complex shaders this doesn't surprise me.

Recently when sending a scene Cinema4D will hang ...
