i just installed the latest (1.13)version as you recommended and did some tests with files, where the previous version bugged around.
Until now it seems to work stable. I continue testing over the weekend and see how it works.

But i have to ask again, any chance for an updated Manual?

nice, let me know if you get problems. I'll fix it. Manual is little problem for me. Plugin is shaping in some areas and make a synced manual little time consuming. I'll try to look for that in next days. Did you check Cursestudio tutorials? It's covering most areas

Yes i did. There very nice but... nothing beats a printed Manual

Besides that, thank you for your hard work with octane/c4d.

cheers, djart

yeah, please dont forget to document… of course it is annoying, but tutorials by some users (not really getting everything right) doesnt help much. sorry, for me the tutorial sounds like a guy just playing around a bit without a real concept. this doesnt replace a proper manual where every switch is explained, so that you can understand the concepts behind. a good manual is part of a professional product

Problem with Material-DB

Sometimes it is impossible to download one or more materials from the DB. That happened in 1.10, too. The status message sais 'download complete' but in fact nothing happens. Weird.

internal structure of octane is changing since octane 1.20.
this is a big transation to support advanced featured. livedb had been broken or buggy until sdk 1.29. now it seems better. also it has caching, i think this is causing some problems. check for a directory under user/..../octanerender like cache. delete material files and please try again.

Hi guys, nice release I think.
I have a question @Aoktar: is there a way to set a TIME LIMIT to render? It would be really really useful for us!

Has the caching issue with textures from the LiveDB been fixed?
Not all textures download.
