What a weird way to install Octane! I'm sure that you have missing Octane.dll/.dat or plugin files somewhere that are breaking the installation. Why don't you simply add the plugin from the folder where you have it in the HD, without copying it to the LightWave folders?

You should reinstall LightWave, clean the config files, and install the plugin as I've said, adding it from the Layout.

Thanks,

Agreed, that is weird way of installing it.

few Things:

1. You should copy *.dll and *.dat to same folder where is plugin installed and not to LW/bin (that was old procedure, new procedure since few years is that those files can be in same folder as plugin itself = cleaner)
2. After you copy/paste all that then you go to layout and ADD plugins form Layout not just expect it will be there after copy/paste.
Additionally You might need to check Master plugins (CTRL+Q) to see if you need to remove it form there prior installing new one (through Layout Add plugins command).

cheers

Thanks Carlos Caldeira.
