C4D Demo - A Few Problems

[Zee]

I've just downloaded the C4D plugin, and amazed by thepowr of the tool already.
I've played with the settings a bit and now I have a few question:

1. live viewer is not updating any more. I'm not entirely sure what I changed, but live viewer is only working when I press the green octane logo to reload the scene. When I first installed the tool, live viewer was updating when I move the objects around but now it's not working - it only updates when I rotate the camera and lights around. Object movements are not reflected.

2. I've changed the environment color to some random green to seee, and now it's stuck. No matter how many times I close the whole app (C4D) and re-open it, it's still the same weird green. I can't reset it.

3. overall, I would love to know if there is any "reset" functionality since both of the issues above are as I've explained above no matter what I do. Restarting C4D does not help.

Thanks

I've tried animating a cube, the live viewer windows does not display any animations. I can just see the initial frame that the scene is sent to octane.
Waiting for ideas/suggestions/solution.

Hi,
Have you checked demo scenes?

First see this:

Yes I have checked the demo scenes, pressing play does not update anything for me. I can only see the initial frame (where I press the send button) that's all.

I'm on C4D r16

Just installed the same demo version (in downloads section) to C4D r15, I get the same result. No animations are being displayed in the live viewer.

The same is happening to me but on a licensed version. How can I fix this?

[Zee]

That's sort of like a relief actually, I now know that I'm not the only one... not this time

First, you should activate "Check geometry" option.
Second, put a octane object tag to moving objects. This specify which objects will be updated.

You can ask that: Why we are doing this complex way, else automatically update every objects? Because we seperate the structures to able immediately update some part of objects. Seconds, geometry update is slow in Octane. We are trying to be away from updating all objects on every times.

I don't have any moving/distorting geometry in my scene. However, I still checked the "check geometry", and I've added an octane object tag. Here I attach my scene which does not update when I open the live view, load the scene and press play.

Which version of demo it's your? Maybe a problem on demo version, put your cube to under of a null or convert it to polygon. And check. Let me know please.
