Hmm, really weird. Do you have this problem with any scene? It could be great to try to reproduce the problem here if you can share the LightWave scene (or export it to a .orbx file to try to reproduce the problem in Standalone)

The Octane log file that you get while rendering the scene could also help a lot. You can enable it in the plugin options panel.

Also, you could try to update your system to the latest Nvidia STUDIO drivers available and/or reboot the system to check if it helps.

I used this build yesterday and today and didn't noticed problems so far.
I installed and used Nvidia studio driver 452.06

Only thing is that loadign times are still slow/single-threaded so hopefully Juan i still working on multi-threaded loading/scene exracting .

cheers

I've updated this post to include the OctaneX PR6 for Catalina plugin builds.

I'm trying to render a region with Octane - but it doesn't seem to work in any way. I am using native Lightwave instruments but Octane is not responding to this. What's happening?
