Hi, in Lightwave 2020.0.02, using Octane 2020.1.4.0. I'm doing a project at the moment that involves bringing in some OBJ files. They're textured using the standard (old) texture channels - so textures in the Color, Specular, Luminosity and Normal slots. When I click on "Mat. Conversion", the conversion options appear - but as soon as I click OK I get an immediate crash, with a warning of "a critical error has occured, create a crash report".

Is this happening for anyone else?

There is some kind of bug in the LightWave 2020 SDK affecting the plugin material conversion code. I'm still investigating it to check if I can find a workaround, but meanwhile, the only solution is to revert back to LW2019 at least to execute the material conversion feature.

Hope it helps,
-Juanjo

Thanks Juanjo, good to know it's not just my machine! Hope you manage to find a solution (and that there's still any developers left working on Lightwave who can fix issues with the SDK!)
