The 0.81 version is crashing C4D R15 on mac OS X ML after make a new C4D-Material and clicking on "Texture tab button" (-> to load a shader, etc...).

-> This (click) is crashed C4D !

So I go back to one of the older/more stable versions

Hope you can fix this soon !

Seems to be more stable than 0,79b and finally the animation sequence bug removed!!
Good for me.

Still working with 080bB wich is very stable to me on R14 and R15 Installations, but will test the 081B also. Many thanks for your work Ahmet!

Ah, one minor thing (to 080b, have to look for in 081) in R15, with no negative effect on the rendering: Octane always said that textures aren't loaded and did not show them in the material windows. But they where and have been rendered also. As said, have to look with 081, on the other hand it was stable so far.

And I have to ask again: when you write "- Remove unused materials problem fixed", you mean the C4D own function? This didn't work to me including 080b, materials linked to the mix material have been always removed so far. That would be a small but great feature!

there was a mistake on code, 0.79 or 0.80. Octane materials completely was removed with this command. I cannot be sure, but it fixed. For Mix materials, we has still problem. I'm searching a proper way.

Ah ok, good to know, thanks. I'm using a workaround and park them on a null object so they don't get lost using the cinema command.
