Hi Sorel

I did read your reply and double checked that my versions were correct, thank you for the suggestion. However today the thought came to me to check my license - it appears my 1 year subscription had expired. Even though the post-install activation was successful, the plugin was not loading ...

I know nobody reads these forums (the only one other person in the world uses Octane for DAZ Studio is on vacation) but I'll just keep posting my ongoing inability to use Octane plugin for DAZ Studio 4.16 in case my grandchildren want to read about me one day in future.

As reported on 9 March, I ...

Hi BK

Thank you for the suggestion; I've tried reinstalling as administrator but that didn't solve the problem.

When starting DAZ Studio I get the following error in the log. The DLL file is there alongside the license agreement. Only 2 files in the C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\plugins ...

This bug report was filed weeks ago and has not yet had an even remotely satisfactory acknowledgement. Simply saying that version X of the plugin works with version Y of Studio doesn't cut it.

On my new Windows 11 PC I have not been able to get the Octane plugin to load successfully. Installation to default DAZ Studio install directory is fine but after starting DAZ Studio the Octane tab is not shown. About Installed Plugins shows plorsdazs with a red icon and the error text below. This ...

Are you still having to convert a lot of materials after using the Octane render Kit over at Daz3D?
i usually convert materials and add them to LocalDB list so I can easily substitute them. There was a trick fo modify the data to allow studio to use your LocalDb, but that may also be lost.

Octane is still my goto over Iray for two reasons: 1) it is much, much faster and 2) it isn't limited by GPU VRAM (or less so).

This despite having to spend a lot of time on manually converting materials.

Any change you're using the Nvidia studio driver? I have game ready driver installed and wondering whether that might be why its not working on Win11 for me.
