there is a problem with the mac version, if I export a new scene, if I open an old one or I open a 255 scene created on win, it always lost some polygons

On Linux I get the same triangulated thing, when I export to 2.55

The attaches scene is just a plane with a diffuse mat, exported to 2.55

EIDT: Those are flipped normals it seems, but in Blender I have properly directed normals:

Although i have now gotten the hang of the SSS, with some kick ass results it wouldn’t hurt, mixing/removing/re naming some options or parameters, but still having total control. Due to the fact that to a very new noob, these settings can be a bit daunting.

I've tried loading 3 old octane scenes. Smoothing is still on in all of them.

Have you tried playing with your smoothing settings in the Preference ?

Just to make it clear, it's not the .OCS files I'm loading - it's the OBJ file. Still no luck with smoothing enabled after playing with all the OBJ import settings.

Hi guys,

We changes the way triangles are stored on the GPU in this release (not voxelising yet, as some believe from reading the responses),
Obviously we have a bug in the linux and mac versions, probably an endian-ness related issue.

We will fix and provide an update in a few days...

Thanks for your help and keep on reporting any other issues you may find...

PS: Elvissuperstar007 we need a way to reproduce your problem, either zip and mail us your scene (support at refractivesoftware dot com), or ask for t_3 to help you (it's less work for us, as we are extremely busy on instancing right now, thanks)
