Have you tried to rebuild the custom layouts from scratch?

ciao,
Beppe

Ah, good point - some are indeed still from 2026.0. I've now done a test where I only jump back and forth between the standard layout and a new custom one, in a clean new scene with just a cube. After switching ...

Do you mean that it crashes to desktop (C4D application quits) or that Octane stops rendering?
Could you share a scene where it happens with? And steps to reproduce - even if it is inconsistent?


Sorry, I meant the latter, yep - C4D crashes to desktop. It does still show the standard ...

I'm experiencing some crashes with this build and current C4D (2026.1.0), across different project files that don't have much going on (only modelling work, so some meshes, SubDivs, a remesh object and that's it). So I don't believe that they are scene specific.

The crashes tend to occur, however ...

When scaling a project, would it be possible to have the Bump Height in materials be scaled automatically as well? For example, if I CTRL+D scale the project from 1 to 10, could we multiply the Bump Height in all Materials by 10? This might prevent them from changing their appearance in that regard ...

Thank you for the new version! (Also thumbs up for the continued use of Trello!)

One question regarding the update - the material compatibility mode includes "2025.4" as an option, so the Octane version we just jumped to. What is this used for?

I understand switching to legacy behavior when ...

The outputs may need to be connected to something before grouping the nodes? Not sure if this is the only way, but when I group stuff (e.g. just some RGB spectrum nodes) that already flows into the material, then the output pins do show up on the "NodeGraph" node with the connection still in place ...

Aaah, that's smart - I keep forgetting that Object Tag subdivision is a thing. Thank you for the explanation and the setup! : )

Dropdown windows in Cinema 4D 2025.3.1 like File, Edit, Create, Modes, etc. autoclose after a few seconds. This problem goes away when I uninstall the newest Octane version. Anyone else has this problem?

Hmmm, not this time but it does happen for me once in a while (dropdown ...

Hey Chris! Thank you - that makes sense and is good news!

One other issue I came across today - the new Rest Position feature seems to have some limitations once Subdivision Surfaces are involved?

- If the mesh is a child of an SDS and the Rest Position tag is enabled, the mesh does not render for ...

Yup yup, I still have both installed - thank you for looking into it! : )
