Please help. Can't get the OctaneRender for Carrara (stable OR test) to render color/materials. I believe I'm using the defaults (use the Animated Ocean example). Here's the PhotoRealistic vs OctaneRender. (somehow the TEST version was a bit lighter - stable is pictured). [same thing happens with ...

I reinstalled everything from scratch -> using the new versions 3.02 and 4.9, and after one render (upon loading), the viewport is stuck trying to get/rebuild the scene. Bouncing progress bar with no progress. Always repeatable.

Entirely the GUI. Rendering is fast. Even 'selecting' an item in Daz, or moving it, or changing a parameter takes 1-5 seconds (5 to get the yellow highlight, 5 to actually select, 5 to recognize the click on a parameter, 5 more to let me edit it, 5 to accept the change, 5 to register the change, etc ...

Since after Daz 4.6 + plugin 2.x, the Daz Studio has been really really really slow for even moderate scenes. Is this a known issue? And which is it coming from? Daz 4.8 or plugin 2.(later)/3.0? Has anyone else noticed the dramatic slowdown?

Thanks,

I'm glad to hear that you find the Carrara one stable. That would mean that my configuration may be to blame - and that's something I have control over.

On the ability to ...

actually, if you see hoodie's over-time responses, they are months apart, but with compliments - so no sarcasm.

AND to add to it... I've been comparing my purchase of Carrara's plugin with Daz3d's plugin and I gotta say there's things in the Daz3d one that I *miss* in the very-simple Carrara one (i ...

sent - thanks - and yes 2.06

Hi - I just bought this plugin today - I'm a beta tester for Daz3d's Octane plugin.

Loading my project - it doesn't map an image correctly - or at least I'm doing something wrong. (Note, normal render works fine).

Ideas? (Car ver 8.1.1, plugin 2.16).
Thanks, Jim
