Re: Octane not rendering
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2020 2:34 pmHi Shez
This should be fine. The plugin installer doesnt touch the registry
I remember reading this before. If you could send me the scene?. Then i can check it out.
Also, could you give me the octane logs? You can open the standalone OctaneGUI by pressing the octane logo in the octane viewport. Then go to windows and press "Create log window".
This sounds like an issue with having multiple levels open at the same time. Unreal does not allow components to retain UPROPERTY references to components in other levels (as they are saved seperately).
This means that when you want to use "Selected Light" or "Selected camera", the RenderTargetActor needs to be in the same level as directional light or camera.
You need to turn off the auto-resize in the Octane Viewport. Its the second button on the top.
This is an annoying issue I need to fix, but havnt found the time as there are usually more important tasks.
Cant find the link? You can PM me, or send me the link via [email protected].

Unless there are any parts that need to be removed from the registry I haven’t checked and haven’t removed but I got it installed none the less.

I then created a blinn style material that’s just a light grey, popped it on everything and it renders fine. I then through the details panel removed the blinn off the flooring to reveal the proper material which is a wooden floor mostly, some areas are carpet, tiles, and concrete. This, renders fine. So I then went through and revealed all materials for all objects and this is where it just hangs on the screen you saw earlier which is also the same screen shot the other gentleman has put up who initially reported the issue I found in the forum. I haven’t had a chance, yet, to reveal the materials one by one to see when it decides to not render and just hang on the grey screen but once I reveal all materials it just, yeah hangs.

Now some other issues I have found earlier once I installed the full version was I can no longer pick a camera to render from nor a light source. It won’t let me pick the source, nor pick it from the list.

I also have issues with resolution. I go to change it and it just reverts to 1916 x 1013 which is annoying when I need to test the renders at 8K, even when I try and render at 1080p resolution it just switches back to 1916 x 1013.

The last thing I’ve also noticed so far, and this was happening with the Prime version too, when I close down my project I get a UE4 Crash scene. I will also include the Log file for this as there may be some clues in there for your perusal.
