I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why Octane is doing this, but when I keyframe rotate my vectron object around its Y axis, there's a handful of frames that it starts rotating backwards, then suddenly jumps to the angle it's supposed to be at. I've tried everything to fix this but it always happens at the same point and it's really frustrating:

EDIT: The rotation of the vectron object starts reversing after 90 degrees and corrects itself at 92.8 degrees. Glitch still happens no matter which direction it's rotating. However 1t 180 degrees it's fine, but once it hits 270 degrees it glitches again. Hope this helps in tracking down the bug!

EDIT 2: Switching the rotation to rotate around the x axis does NOT glitch. When I rotate around both the Y access and the X access, there doesn't appear to be a glitch either!

Im still not sure if im missing something simple, but wasnt box projection sticking on surface in 2020, and now its "floating" like camera/perspective mapping? Im loosing my mind here.

Nope, it will float if you're using Octane box projection with deformed meshes.

Is this 2021 change irreversible? I made a pic related comparison on my old project with 2020 and 2021 octane plugin, and in 2020 box or cubic displacement mapping worked, and texture sticked to surface (didnt float). For someone as me, who avoids UVs unwrapping like death, this is a huge deal breaker with box/cubic mapping not working. Is it possible to have it fixed please?

There's not any change on my side to cause this. Please share the object setup in a scene.

Sure, im posting link.
As i said my main issue is box projection texture "floating" in every project with 2021 plugin, when object is animated or moving. And displacement not working on box projection. In 2020 box projected displacement worked fine.

A. For OGL works but not as expected. Nothing to do more, not a way to impreve it more. It's an option if helps a bit.
Other one is known issue and fixed before you for next release

Hi

I also get a black live viewer image when I enable 'store render buffer'.
Running C4D R26.015 with latest Nvidia driver 512.96.
Any idea what can cause this?

Thanks!
