joecurrie,
Can you make a test with same very simple box scene to reproduce error? Here is a text file "octane_log_flags.txt". It will produce some log output for us. Please put it to folder where is the Cinema4D executable. And try to generate same errors. Then find the generated "octane_log.txt" file and post here please. It can give more idea.

Hi Aoktar,

Please see attached Log file after reproducing the simple scene render using the same steps as before.

1. Render to picture viewer - Fails
2. Render to live viewer - Ok
3. Render to picture viewer - Now hangs on 'updating....' for some reason?

If I try and stop the render whilst is is hanging on 'updating...' C4D freezes and I have to force quit.

joecurrie,
i can't reproduce the problem on windows or osx. Can you save and send this scene? Also please try with latest A6.2

Hi Aoktar,

Please see attached scene and log this is now using Alpha 6.2.

Thanks

Hi Aoktar,

Thanks

Thanks! Everythings look fine until error. We will check it. Maybe an issue about osx and driver version. I'm running on 10.8.3 and 10.9.5.
Are you deleting unrelated versions of plugin when you extract?

Hi, I have cleaned old versions of the plugin. Will try with stable and see if the same happens.

Thanks for the logs. I had a look and everything looks fine and it's definitely not the race condition I thought it could be. Do you have the same issues with older version of the Octane plugin, too? Can you run Octane Standalone?

Hey Abstrax & Aoktar,

Just tried reverting back to 2.25 R3 and everything is working fine - attached log.

Let me know if you would like me to try any tests/experiments. Would love to work out why it's doing this in V3, should I try experimenting with any kernel settings?

Thanks

Ok, thanks. I guess, I will have to make a special build with more logging to see what's going on. Can't figure it out just by looking at the code, since the reported behaviour doesn't make any sense to me... I will get in touch with you again next week.

Hi Ahmet,

Awesome work on v3.
I just wanted to mention a few small niggles that have only come up with this version... and see if it was just me and if they are fixable.

Firstly. My material previews have a high level of black pixelation going on. was fine in 2.25 but noise is clear in v3. Doesn't seem to respond to preview samples under 'other'.

And secondly this version of the plugin seems to have been placed alongside my enhance3d plugins... it puts all the shaders nested under a folder simply titled "."

Both issues illustrated in the attached thumbs. Just wanted to flag them and make sure i wasn't doing something stupid to cause them.
They are nothing major of course.

I'm running OSX mavericks. gtx680 ti and 780ti. Cinema r17 up to date.

Big cheers
