Didn't see this bug posted:

- If you move/delete the HDR folder you had previously selected a file from, as soon as you choose the ellipses to open the Image Browser, the application crashes. It appears to be trying to reference a folder/file that no longer exists. This may apply to the Image Browser in general - not sure.

Octane yes, in the standalone. Not with the plugin currently. There is a more complete answer in the thread you opened.

Soooooooo. I guess we're all castaways waiting to be rescued by a final OCDS release, again.

My BIGGEST issue is lag while the viewport is open and I try to pose cameras or characters (w/o LIVE on).
It appears to be permanently updating the scene's geometry, no matter what. Sometimes i seems to be random, only because I don't know the source or how to reproduce it consistently.
Closing the viewport doesn't stop the symptom once I go down this road.
I can't even reset the plugin to get rid of it, and actually screws DS to the point I have to restart it.
I tried re-installing OCDS from scratch, same problem.
I loaded different scenes with G2 characters, no change. Every complex, multi character scene behaves like this now. Camera and joint movements are the worst at 1-2 fps.
I know the plugin is the culprit since it only lags forever after rendering a preview.
Characters or cameras don't behave this way by themselves in an empty scene.
I'm using GROUPS to organize everything in my scenes, could this be bugging something in OCDS?
I haven't found ANY workaround but I know some of you have experienced this, have you found any fixes yet?

I have the exact same issue as you, however I don't have it with joint movement, only when moving an object/whole figure. I originally thought the issue happened with any figure posing adjustments as well as object movement, but this was only because the figures had objects parented to the limb, or a child of the limb I was attempting to move. So when I adjusted the pose of the figure, it would then move the parented object, causing the freeze. If a limb does not have a parented object, then it can be bent and twisted without any problems. I think if you hide the parented object it may also fix the freezing, but it's been a while since I did my testing, so I can't confirm.

I also found that hiding multiple figures/objects in the scene can reduce the length of the freeze. So I would start assigning figures to groups, and then hiding those groups to hide multiple figures and all there parented/worn objects with a single click to reduce the lag while adjusting another figure.

Anyone know a way around this? Clearing this cache somehow? REALLY annoying.

I really wish they would put the ability to use HDR Light Studio with this plugin so i can update.

Hi,
what is missing is the connection between DAZ and HDRI Light Studio, not with Octane, as you can see from the lightmap site:
https://www.lightmap.co.uk/hdrlightstudio/connections/
If the host application has a connection with it, then Octane can render it, this is how it works in c4d for example

Okay, figured it out on my own.

You could probably just remove the ImageBrowser* entries. Someone needs to add this one to the bug list. I don't always keep the HDRs I reference in the same spot, or at all if they are crappy
