Bogus scene path Tweet

[Isotemod]

Hi after switching between the Daz Beta and Current 4.11 Release many of my scenes and material presets are missing texture paths in the octane materials (daz materials are fine).

The Bogus scene path message is coming up in the plugin.

Is there any way to fix this?

I just experienced the same thing mentioned above, with the "Bogus scene path" message for almost all image files referenced by materials in a recently created scene.

Except for one material, which was the only texture file to have a directory reference with no apostrophe ( ' ) in the path.

A quick test later and I can reproduce this issue using a new scene with objects that have one texture reference with a path that has no apostrophe character and another which does have an apostrophe character: save the scene, bring it back up and Iray sees both textures fine but the Octane plugin declares "Bogus scene path" for the texture file which has an apostrophe in its folder path.

While a scene is open, I can assign a texture from a path which includes an apostrophe and it will work with the Octane plugin during that session. But, saving and then re-opening the scene loses that texture file's reference when it tries to resolve its path anew.

This is for r4.4.0.44

Hope that helps.

This is a big help. Thank you for working this out. I will see if there is a solution for this when doing the next release, and add a note about this to the release threads.

Thanks for your consistently helpful support, Paul !

From my further testing, I think "bogus scene path" is being returned when an image file cannot be found. I don't think it's related to the apostrophe in the folder name.

The error does show when an image cannot be found, but on my system that was repeatable when an apostrophe was in the image pathname. Would a sample scene possibly help?

I can replicate it at the moment - so no need for a scene. I have reported the issue to OTOY.

Thanks

Same issue when there's a "&" in the path, e.g.:
....\Textures\Pusey Designs\G8F Skirt & Jacket
.....\Textures\H&C\2018 Business suit for g8m texture
