Modo 15 won't start anymore, if the Plugin (V171) is active. I already deleted config files, and reinstalled the plugin. Is there a quick fix to this?
We had this same issue at our studio - opened up MODO 15 this morning and couldn't get past the splash screen due to an octane pop-up not responding. We ended up installing the latest Octane Standalone (2020.2.4), uninstalled all Octane MODO plugins, then reinstalled the stable 171 version and that seems to have worked.
Hi - these appear to be general Octane questions. May I suggest posting them in the Octane Standalone 2020.2.3 release thread, and include an ORBX which illustrates the issues, and the OTOY support techs can then response.
Thanks Paul,
These issues are specifically pertaining to the MODO version of Octane. They have been tested in other plugins and seem to work fine. There is an issue in MODO Octane with vertex maps working used as an amount for a Mix Material with "nested dielectrics" checked on, happens every time. It only selects one of the colors being mixed and goes with it, ignoring the other mix. There is also an issue with displacement not working correctly in MODO. I cannot get the mid-level to remain static, it always seems to move a little, which really kills any thin meshes, such as glass bottles. I have used the exact same displacement maps in Cinema4D Octane and it works just fine. Let me know if you need any examples and I can create a few - can't show exactly what I've got due to client restrictions.
Sorry for pretty much posting the same thing twice, but these couple issues are limiting our options quite a bit for a couple of our clients. Thank you!
