Well a screen shot might not tell you anything that a bit of text wouldn't do better. Basically on the System tab I used "Export Complete scene". I've tried this as all three file stypes. The first type (I can't recall it's name right now) ... OCS .. and ABC.
Getting them into the standlone thing I find I have no clue what the hell to do to get this to even show me an image. I've tried to look up tutorial videos for using Octane Standalone but they all seem to be for much older versions. The OCS imported something that had a frame count .. but just a grey screen?!?
ABC did nothing that I can discern .. and the first file type made an import of a still scene .. no frame count .. but only rendered something in the viewer port after I had a clicking fit just trying to get it to do something .. ANYTHING!!
I gotta say the Standalone app is not very intuitive and there's next to no help that I can find in trying to use it. The plugin works MUCH better for me because I can actually see a result .. affect changes etc, and make an export. Sure DAZ and Octane crash all of the time so I've learned to hit 'save file' after making any change.
I'm not sure what to give you as a crash report as literally anything I'm working on will stop working after a certain amount of time. Anything from a still of a character .. to a scene with 4 characters .. or just a single starship.
My computer is no slouch .. but it's hard to know what the problem is. If this is just DAZ being a pain in the arse .. perhaps so, or if any one of a thousand different pieces of hardware or software drivers in my PC isn't working properly. With 3 titan X's you'd think you'd get some decent stability.
Anyways, point is that the standalone app is a total mystery as to how to get it to do anything. I realize this is more MY problem that anything to do with the app .. but coming from the plugin where things tend to work (more or less .. crashes not withstanding) .. it's a complete halt in the workflow. In all this I can only wonder ... why ... just why won't motion blur work in the plugin ?!?. It's mostly all I need it to do. That and not crash.
