what is "Octane: generate material" and "Octane:Opengl Preview" in the statusbar ? can this be deativated?
i already tried deactivating use octane for opengl preview in settings. i also deactivated textures in viewport.
when i have a big scene with a lot of materials (200-300 materials) it takes a lot of time until all materials are generated and i cant really work in the scene at this time.

i can upload and send you a scene like this vie PM if you want oktar

These are messages about to show material preview/opengl texture generation. You can disable this optionally in LV->Options.

"- Fix: Ignored values of some imported textures from orbx/livedb."
1. Gradient node is not working correctly - "Start and end values" are not imported in c4d .
2. Emmision node - "Surface brightness" is ignored on import.

Hi Aoktar,
I noticed that with newest build the node editor sometimes behaves oddly when using a stylus. When I grab and pull a node somewhere it wouldn't let go of it until I left click with a mouse. I don't know whether that is related to a C4D/Windows/Octane bug, I'm just throwing it out there.

I just used the incredible scatter object for the first time to build a big patch of grass using vertex maps and black/white images to influence position and scale. It works incredibly stable and fast except for a few refresh delays within LV but when rendering it out to PV I get a completely different result. As if the parameters I changed within scatter object reset themselfs to default. I might have missed posts re this topic so apologies if you've heard this already a few times. Is this a known issue? Attached scene file I am trying to render.

Best
Dan

is there a way to avoid updates in LV when i switch scenes in c4d?

hello octane users & Aoktar,
first I need tell you that I love octane, but since long time I am disappointed by his instability with c4d. Specially in the editing materials. But anyway I thought it wasn't normal and that with regular update nothing changed.
and recently I've discovered the reason why I had so many problems with octane.
simply because my cinema4d was setting with French language and since I changed the language in English it is 100% stable.
finally I could work a whole day without problem, but before I had a crash every hour on average.
Am I the only french octane users to use?, I've never seen this problem on forums
I hope that my testimonial will serve to others and I hope these problems will be solved for the next set up to date by the master Aoktar.

Thanks. That's interesting feedback. I never thought that could give problems else of non-english filenames. But we have fixed any possible problems on non-english characters on filenames. I know some guys who work on non-english versions, mostly german language. But there is lot of users from France also. What's the versions are you talking?

Thanks. Some bugreport.zip can help also. Otherwise it's dicey. Btw i'm pretty sure about stability of plugin. Sometimes i can overlook somethings due lot of revisions on features, but it should be well generally.
