OK this may be another basic question
I am trying to animated out a file. I have in the octane settings
Preview is set to frames 1-250
Location is set to a directory etc
When I render in the picture viewer it only goes to 6 frames then stops
I can see a render in the Picture Viewer and the main window etc. But in the Live Viewer it just is blank.

When I start preview in the octane settings it writes the frames in the directory I assigned but they are all like black like the live viewer

I feel like I am missing some setting somewhere but as I am new to Cinema I search everything and it all looks like it is set to write out the full 250 frames. There is no crash etc. Just gracefully stops.

Any graceful help appreciated.

Hi,
i couldn't stay away more. Sorry but how could you do so many wrong things together to make it so slow?
I have pointed wrong and correct things to make it very fast. But annoying things is small icons makes very slow rendering. If you change them with spheres, everything will be much faster.

Second, i see that:

Same scene, similar questions and no change, why?

Ha ha thanks man
I made a few changes and it is rendering away now very quickly :.))

You are right I could have used spheres with a texture map on them... I'm just experimenting :>((
