Creating XRef from C4D database doesn't fully work because Octane doesn't read materials from database.

Please don't make your reports without projects.

Project :

It also doesn't work if we put to browser objects with Octane materials.

Generally XRef's works fine but not if it is loaded from browser with materials/images stored within it.

EDIT : ok it works but it is little tricky. Octane needs to XRef by stored in Asset Browser as regular XRef object referenced to orginal one. So there is need to prepare it and after that it can be stored in browser... This is time consuming if we need more objects to be XRef'ed for further use in projects.

Using regular XRef's I had today tens of freezes and crashes

Generate objects preview in Asset Browser using Octane doesn't work but generating scene preview works fine - I know that there is bug because C4D needs to create preview while adding object to database ( generating doesn't work after that ) but anyway using Octane renderer for objects never works.

Changes in Octane Environment Tag (with a HDRI Image) e.g. Parameter RotX & RotY doesn't update the octane live viewer.
I have to reload the full scene in live viewer, to see changes.

But, e.g. the Parameter "Power" updates the live viewer immediately.

Works fine. Probably you have additional node between image texture and environment tag.

Yes, plugin cannot modify the complex internal structures for you. You have to translate the images by hand in these cases

Note:
With RC3

and without any changens in the scene/environment Tag, RotX & RotY works again. Live viewer updates immediately.
