Octane will render the MD_Reader MDD sequence but fails to see the "Frame Offset" option. Now all animations occur on frame 0 even if you offset them. Is this a known problem? Any solution? Kind of threw me into a pickle when I realized this, I need this sequence rendered by tonight and Octane was my solution, but now...

Thanks!

Sorry, I am on vacation this week and I didn't read your problem until now. The frame offset should work without problems, but if you are using displacements over cloned objects you need to disable the "Instance LW clones" option available in the root node editor options panel. By default the plugin adds the LW clones as Octane instances to save memory, but the instances can't have independent displacements, and this could be your problem.
