Hi,
please, open the scene, then go to c4doctane Settings/Other tab, and, at the bottom of the panel, enable all the Log option checkboxes.
Then, load the scene in Live View, then edit the materials in Node Editor until crash, then reopen c4d, navigate to c4doctane Settings/Other tab, press the Generate log report button, and share the octanelog_report.zip file, thanks.

Hi,
I think we need to wait for PR8 for this kind of errors, it shouldn’t be too far away.

I'm running iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), 4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4 GB. Half your GPU andOctane X PR7 Free Trial runs perfectly.

Question: Have you deleted all the other .xlib files for R19, S22 etc? My C4D & Octane would not work until I had only the one c4doctane-S22.xlib correct file for my version of Cinema4d

My stand-alone Demo Octane seems not to work. It runs but I can't open any .c4d files. I'm wondering if it works in a different way?

I'm buying the Studio (2 GPU) monthly subscription unless anyone off this forum tells me the Enterprise/RNDR (ultimate bundle) will render much faster on/with my iMac but I'm told by a mate it won't cos my iMacs a bottleneck, yet I don't understand how an iMac can slow network rendering?

Good Luck

Hi,
you can find PR8 Standalone and plugins by visiting your personal Downloads area:
https://render.otoy.com/account/download_archive.php
You need to select your purchased version from the Select Software pop up:

To test Standalone, please open Standalone demo, right click anywhere in the node graph panel, and choose Materials/Metallic, to create the material node.
Now right click on the node and choose Render.
Then please share a screenshot of the Standalone interface thanks.

Hi,
do you see a difference if you disable the AMD 5700 in Devices panel, and render only with AMD Radeon VII?

ciao,
