Octane crashes on "Render" and Standalone load of OBJ. Tweet

[giztschmo]

Octane render crashes even before project loads.

Triangulated every single piece of geometry, eliminated all animation, all history and still no joy, did all this after several crashes with my original project.

I´m at a loss, don´t know what is going on here.

Some help would be really appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi,

Please post your configuration details , what software do you use, gpu driver version etc.
In order to have something to start from to be able to help you.

also, do the demosuite scenes work ?
you can download them on our downloads page.

I had the same problem with the demo. The reason for the crash was that I had my files in the "my documents" folder. It started working when I tried to load from somewhere else. My guess is that it's the letter "Ä" in my lastname that causing this. Yesterday when I tried to save a file it wouldn't do it when i tried to put it in a folder in "my documents". So if the path you are loading your material from has any umlauts that might be the problem.

we're working on internationalizing octane towards v1.0, so for now, try to stick to ASCII in filenames and directory names

The project is at a standard type path, the Demo works ok...still no joy on the project, tried another project with different settings and still no uneventful start under octane.

Only have succeeded with simple poly models with very simple materials.

Hi guys,

Can someone get us something that allow us to reproduce the issue(s) ?
Like a zip file taken from the root of your drive containing the full path to the scene file and OBJ+MTL etc?
