I can't find the Octane 3.06 standalone in the Commercial Product News & Releases (Download here) forum.

That's going to be interesting, thanks for the update, Paul

You can find it in the "Development Build Releases" Forum @ viewtopic.php?f=33&t=59552
If that's what you meant.

After installing and running ver.3_6_0_81_Win64 and running Poser11, I got the following Error:

Also, Octane Renderer doesn't appear in Posers "Render" menu.

Following is a new link for the 3.06 test build of the plugin, which resolves the problem reported above.

Works perfectly now!
Thanks for the great service, Paul

Something still doesn't seem quite right here .. or I managed to mess up totally
It's just a V4 with a custom skin material (something TonySculptor did a long time ago), a 255/255/255 Texture Environment. power @1. Rendered with the PT kernel. Other kernels give a similar result.

I noticed this as well,
In my case it was due to using the redspec shader for the figure. But it could be one node in their setup, which is causing the problem for you too.

The curious thing is that when I export that scene to Octane stand alone, it will render correctly..

When you apply the redspec shader and do a render afterwards, I get a CUDA error as well. This error looks pretty much like the error in the Octane Test build development thread, so I hope that will be resoived in the next build.

Yes - it looks like it might be the color correct or gradient node from the Redspec shaders which are causing this. Otoy said there would be a patch tomorrow, so I will post an updated Poser plugin once that is available and you can see if that fixes the problem.
