seroius problem - octane don't render anymore

[miohn]

Hi,

I'm getting crazy slowly!

Working since 3 days on a scene and after a octane-crash
LV and PV won't render anymore.

I deleated the octane-dat file, made some restarts but even
when I load an earlier version, LV hangs on "updating" and
nothing more happens.
After that, I cannot even render a scene with a simple cube.

Octane seams completely dead.

Any idear what I can do?
Are there any other cache-files I could delete maybe?

thanks
MIke

When you have problems first place to check is Octane Log window and second Console window. Did you tried standalone also?

hI Ahmet,

Octane standalone renders fine.

In console I have some plugin-ID-errors ( but which I have
since months without causing any problems)

After the maybe 10th restart I'm now able to render some
copied objects from the crashed scene. Still testing ... copying testing ...

But the scene which crashed still cannot be rendered.
It seams completely destroyed.

When I just try to render the crashed scene and even when I then close that scene,
Octane still won't render any new scene.

regards
Mike

I'm not good on this support things. But i don't think these error are a reason here!
But your post makes confusions on me.

Remove all other plugins, delete octane plugin and install 3.05.3 try again. Don't forget to delete unnecessary plugin files.
Alternatively try to rename "prefs" folder of c4d for testing that.

Hi Ahmet,

good tip to start with renamed prefs-folder.

So when scene loads (3.05.03) without textures (cause of missing prefs)
LV starts to render that scene.
So I think the problem has to do with a broken material or texture.

As soon as I render that scene with materials and textures
same problem occures and LV is dead forever.
And C4D can only be closed via taskmanager.

Will investigate further!

thanks so far!
Mike
