Octane only renders black and white???

[aeolian001]

I just reinstalled windows, lightwave and octane. When i go to render, colors are not showing up correctly. If i set something to red, it shows up whitish (fresh scene with one model, using octane diffuse material set to red).. I am using 2.5 and have the latest nvidia drivers installed.. is this more likely a driver, software or GPU issue? thanks

I've seen this problem before in Octane 2, and I think that finally the problem was related to the drivers. You should try to install the drivers from perhaps two years ago to see if the old drivers fix the issue. I remember that I had not found any other workaround using Octane 2 ... the user with this problem finally upgraded his license to Octane 3, that works fine on his system.

thanks, guess i will upgrade to v3.. quick question. I under stand i need the standalone and lw plugin for master computer.... but for a slave computer, do i need the LW plugin or the standalone, or both?

In the slave computers, to render using the Octane native network rendering you only need a Standalone license. Only if you want to render on the slaves using LWSN you will need also a plugin license.
