Thanks a lot for your time!

I get this black screen too but only when I switch to camera view. Interactive viewport is fine.
I have a GTX970 and it's all been fine until this update, so not sure what's up :(
I played with the render passes too, but no joy.

I had the problem, just try to increase the distance for the focus option ...

"Camera / Octane Camera / Autofocus distance > 0"
Works great - thanks!

When I deactivate "Camera or Shadow visibility" under "Meshproperties" then nothing happens, the selected Object is still visibly for the Camera and it generates shadows.

Bug or a missunderstanding of my little dumbhead ?

Kind regards

Alain, have you set your Mesh type to Scatter?
Cheers,

No, I didn't, it works now.

But if this Objects is behind windowsglass then it doesn't work anymore.
Is there a way to make Objects invisible for Refraction and Reflections as well ?

There is another question:
If I make a linked Copy of an Object in Blender (Alt-d), what I kind of Octane-Object do I have to choose then to NOT load it twice into GPU-Memory, "Movable Proxy" ?

A little Bug:
When define a Renderregion in the Viewport and when I zoom into this Renderregion while rendering, then it cuts the "Octane-Renderregion".

See here:

I may be wrong, but I think you can't make objects invisible for refraction. Maybe try replacing the specular shader with a glossy one (for this you'd need to make your glass planar).
fake glass without refraction (glossy shader)
fake glass without refraction (glossy shader)
You may want to tweak those settings, eg. increase the Opacity to make reflections more visible, etc.

You can find some info here: http://render.otoy.com/manuals/Blender/?page_id=575
In order to make Alt-D instancing work in Octane I set the mesh type to Scatter.
