New build is up with some fixes, enjoy it!

When I use these nodes the computer freezes.
P.s. I use c4d R2023 & apple M1 max

Thank you, great update especially for Scatter ! I noticed that undo view issue ( cntrl + shift + z ) using LV view is caused because it deselect current active camera. It works fine using standard C4D views.

Yes please, avoid to use any C4D Shader with M1/M2 chip.
The core devs are fixing an issue in SDK for next version, that should solve the issue.

You can replace the C4D Gradient shader with the new Octane Gradient Generator node:


And the C4D Noise shader with new Octane Noise4D node:

C4D wont open with the [r2]

I see the splashscreen, then it closes again

[hazenkind]

new Octane

Whats new? Whats old? Can we have a suffix or something for "new" and "old"? Like "legacy Node xyz"!?

I... I... accidentally deleted one of the other folder in the main folder...sorry!

I opened a scene I am working on, in Octane 2021.

Is there a different way the scaling on Triplanar mde works now?
I have a specular surface that has some scratches, but when opening in this Octane Version, it is all blurred. When not using triplanar, and the set up scale, that worked previously, it appears correctly. Just not as intended, because of triplanar.

[haze]

Octane says there is no GPU selected after Ventura update

This should be working. I'm not sure what's going on. Are you sure you are using this specific version of the plugin?
