Hey there,

I stumbled onto something I can't seem to fix: when I want to render the current animation timeline in OctaneRender from within Modo
it starts exporting but after the first frame has been exported it suddenly changes the light direction.

So I'm making use of the 'Octane Daylight Environment Light' and within the 'Environment Material' I've connected the 'Sun Light' - under Physically-based Daylight -
to my Directional Light (so it should take over its light direction, and it does for the first frame, but after that it changes).

Camera Motion Blur and Object Motion Blur are ticked and I'm using the latest plugin (3.07.0.125).

I hope there is a fix to this. I mean it works when I'm exporting the scene to an .OCS file and render it in the Octane Standalone.
But it should be working from within Modo itself as well, right?

Thanks in advance!

- Bob

Hi Bob. Thanks for providing that scene. Unfortunately the issue is caused by a bug in the plugin. This is fixed in the next release (due out hopefully in the next week or so).

Thanks
