Vertex map crash

[belly80naz]

Hi all,
I'm trying to use Vertex map in Octane V4.05-R5 (and R7 too) but when I assign the Vertex Map to the Vertex Map node, I've Octane crash.

I used Vertex Map without problems in another scene with an oldest version of Octane and it worked perfectly, but now, if I open the same scene I've Octane crash

Having exactly the same issue, 4.05-R7, C4D R20.059

Were you able to solve the issue?

I am having the same issues, same c4d version and octane version. I believe I read that in V4 the way octane handles vertex maps is a bit of a hack, it should work fine but not always. The advice given was to upgrade to 2019 or higher, not something I can do right now as it was a challenge to get them (bosses) to invest in octane anyway!

I have found that if you apply vertex maps using the radio/link buttons in the texture windows (not in the node graph view) it will work most times, but as soon as you open the node view and move a node, octane crashes.

We've figured out a workaround. The problem is the preview of the vertex map in the node editor, if you collapse the preview of the Vertex Map node, everything should work.
