Hello... When exporting to the standalone version of octane the material picker doesn't work.... Please help....

When can we see a fix to the problems with this release?

Instant crash if I use any other kernel than "Direct lighting".....

And the UI setup are trashed after I reopen the crashed file.....

NB: this was OK before u "fixed" the layout >>> "* Handling of the Octane workspace layout has been changed slightly. Loading a new scene that doesn't have a layout saved with it will now revert to the default layout instead of keeping whatever the layout happens to be at the time, and there is a new menu option to reset the layout to the default."

What version is recommended that I revert back to for production use? 3.4.4.5?

No version. This plugin has sadly never been stable enough for production use.

This is the sad truth

Sketchup 2019 plugin?

At the moment the plugin for Sketchup 2019 is available only for OctaneRender 2018.1.12:

A new version for v4 will be published next week.

If you own a v3 license, and want to use v4, you will have to upgrade your version 3 licenses to version 4. This upgrade is free and can be done via these 4 steps:

1. Go to https://home.otoy.com/render/octane-render/purchase/
2. Select "Upgrade" in the top menu.
3. Click on "UPGRADE NOW" next to "Upgrade existing licenses to OctaneRender 4".
4. Select the licenses you want to upgrade and confirm.

Hello to all.
Despite the various failures of the Sketchup plugin, I am stubborn and keep trying to work on it, because unfortunately I think Octane Render is still the best.
Why if I start the render from Sketchup (OctaneRender_for_SketchUp_2018_4_00_0_20_win plugin), Octane 4.00 opens but does not render anything?
I must necessarily export scene in OCS and open it with Standalone.
It may depend on the fact that the document folder has been moved to the new NVME HDD with drive letter D:? In case there is a way to restore the paths?
P.S.
Is the last perpetual version usable 4?
