OctaneRender™ 3.0 for LightWave™ - Production build 3.07.0.1 Tweet

[juanjgon]

I'm going to release the new plugin build this week. I'm not sure if the OSL nodes are going to be ready, but all the other 3.08 features are all working now

Thanks,

Is this plugin usable for subscription customers or only full purchases? I'm getting the following error when I attempt to enable it:



If I hit retry, it comes back after a few seconds. If I hit Sign in as a different user, Lightwave crashes. Cancel takes me back to lightwave and I can bring up the Octane Options menu and select License Management for OctaneLive. That gives me the option to activate, which if I do, crashes lightwave.

I am using Lightwave 2015.3 and upgrading from Octane 3.05 which has been running flawlessly for months. Alerts are set to HIGH.

To perform the upgrade, I uninstalled the prior version of the standalone client, deleted the plugin and menu options from LIghtwave, removed the Octane directory from C:\Program Files\NewTek\LightWave_2015.3\bin\plugins\ and the config file from C:\Users\scott\.NewTek\LightWave\2015.3\LWOctane.cfg.

Once I had scrubbed Octane from all the places I could find it, I rebooted and Installed the new version downloaded from the website. The standalone first, then the Lightwave version linked at the top of this article.

There is an error that pops up saying it can not find LWOctane.rtd but the prior version did not provide that file. I'm assuming that much like the LWOctane.cfg file that once the plugin runs successfully the first time, it'll create that file.

The standalone Octane client loads and authenticates fine and shows as activated with the proper number of days left before my subscription renewal.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

What kind of license do you have? The one available on this topic is for the full regular licenses only. The OctaneVR builds for subscription users must be downloaded from your customer web account. Perhaps you are trying to use a not valid version for your license.

Thanks,

I have the VR subscription (that appears to be called Studio now). I wasn't aware that the versions on this forum labeled as production releases weren't usable for that license. The version of the plugin available though the download link is 3.06.05 and works fine. I was hoping to make use of the enhancements in the 3.07 version now that it was labeled as production ready.

Any word on when the subscription users will have 3.07 (or 3.08 at this point) made available?

Sorry, yes, there is VR subscription version of the 3.07.0.1 build available, but somehow the links have not been updated in the customers downloads page. I'll contact the web team to see what could be the problem.

Thanks,

Thanks. I'm looking forward to it. I hadn't realized, though that it's been almost 2 months since the standard license build was released. Is this normal for the release cycles between standard license and subscription licenses?

Nope, sorry, this is not normal at all. I think that I had forgotten to send the subscription builds links to the Otoy web team to update the costumer's download pages. I'll try to fix this issue ASAP, but as I said before, the subscription builds should be updated at least at the same time that each final Octane version is released.

Thanks for your patience,
