Version 2.16.2

[aoktar]

All plugins I use have sliders that update when a value is typed, except Octane.

really? It has been improved on 2.16.2

It does seem improved but I still experience the issue a lot.

when you run the mouse wheel it updates. but if you type in a number and then hit enter there is no update for the slider. I am currently working in a macro scene where everything is not quite true to scale but definitely tiny so I have to work with values around 0.00001 with Ray epsilon

not completely true, it's occuring on just in settings window. Not in tags, materials.

Hi Aoktar,

in new version 2.16.2 my main problem is to resend data to live-viewer..first time everything is fine. but when i stop and want to make a refresh - set data back ..play or anything else nothing happend > scene data doesn´t update...

i figured out i have to close always the live-viewer window and reopen it again ..then the resend or start button works and the resend-process of the scene happens and rendering starts fresh new again.

it´s a workaround for now .. but a little bit anoying because normally i have the liveviewer tabbed in layout. for now i always have to close and reopen it and close and reopen it and so on > for getting new results..

Does nobody else have this problem or i´m the only one doing something wrong?
win 8.1 64 bit - c4d 16 ..15 are the same
THX for help

PS: The written prob. in prev posts > about refresh of typing in values inside the valuefields are by me always in all versions since 0.8 the same... only if i touch a slider the value is really accepted by octane/plugin but if i use the value-fields and enter my value there and press enter ... most times it doesn´t work...should be really fine if this will be fixed..because this bug is now really really old... > sry not everywhere .. only in oct-settings.

Hi,
Dont press to stop. It will reset the render data. Use pause button to stop and resume.
Also check my previous post for a fixed test version. It has a fix for sliders.

oki .. great ... i want to reset render data..so stop is super...i want that octane resets and loads the new data....or do i think the wrong way?
I will test, but don´t understand why not to press stop and make a completely fresh new resend like in all versions before - it´s exactly what i want.. but with restart and reaction of course like in older versions.... thx for your quick answer

..redit..ok tested:
1. live viewer renders - i want to make changes on my scene so i dont press stop... i press pause like ou told me > renderer pauses - good.
2. i make my changes on my scene on geometry, lights, mats and so on and want to render this new changed scene.
3. i press pause again to let it go on render ... and of course all old data is renderd..no changes i made are seen...

on refresh, resend and al other buttons nothing happens..but if i close the viewer and reopen it ... ha .. everything loads new and is fine...why?

hmm..no solution for me now .. i need the stop, refrresh and resend data button work. sry ... i really tried - or do i have some old setups/files i have to delete could that be the reason maybe? .. but in the whole .. great job man

are you starting render from "octane dialog" and stop from live viewer? If so, there is a problem on controls. Use icons on same window. If you start render from octane dialog, continue to use their icons. Or use only live viewer's icons.

Hi Ahmed,

again I am asking regarding LiveDB crashes. Since others had the same issue I followed your advice and deleted the respective folder that contains the liveDB data. But Cinema still crashes when opening the MISC category in Materials.
Any idea?

New bug report attached.

i have spent my ideas. Bugreports doesn't show any good info. Impossible to know what happens. What's the version of standalone, is it same with plugin? Have you checked in standalone the livedb? Do you see any problem on thumbnails of materials?

No problems with standalone. Its version 2.16 therefore in sync with plugin. Even no problems with thumbnails in standalone. In C4D thumbnails of other categories are fine, only MISC immediately crashes before thumbnails could be loaded.

Hi there,

I have exactly the same problems... in the live db, select any material and C4D crashes.
I have the Prime Version (R16). Bug Report from C4D is attached.

With Version 2.16, this does not happen. The prefs/livedb folder was already deleted...
Even with a blank scene (just a cube added).

Best regards,
Landrig
