..by me the same - win7 - 64bit ..cinema won´t start...

some plugins can cause this...

Hi Aoktar,

i will post in this thread too...

. . .

i am really happy about the C4D Mac-Version of Octane.

. . .

my current problems:

- every time i klick "render preview", my light settings are gone and a kind of standard Sky Light is visible... from where it comes?

- i cant save a still inside the Live Viewer via "File > save as 16png image"... is it a problem with directory-adressing?

- today i had a problem with Focus-Picker on near Objects...

. . .

with the first two Problems together, i have actually no reason to save my work...

I'm going to check now.

TOP! Thank you!

But it's little outdated, i'll update soon

Hello Aoktar!

Have you had a look into the 3D Mouse update Problem? Have you watched the Video i made and uploadedfor you? Its really getting weird working here. Becoming headache everyday working this way. Hope you can help me and other 3D Mouse users as soon as possible!

Kind regards Chris!

I have a paid version of Octane, and I've entered the correct serial and password, but I get nothing in the render view - do I need to do something to get the OS X plugin initialised?

can you render with standalone on your system?

Hi Aoktar - again i must say Thank you - thank you - thank you
it is so nice to work with it - and for the first mac version i think it is very very good.

but - yes there is a but - if i take older c4d scenes i have trouble to convert the material (only a few others wise it crash) and if i download a dblive material it comes only white
or i converted a material and in the preview sphere you see the texture of a material i copied before - but in render it shows the right one.
???
got a crash when i switch the camera from thin lens to panoramic - only once

then a problem - maybe i do not know the right way in octane - you can see the screenshot where the BG plate with the garden makes a shadow - in c4d normally with a render tag say something like no shadow or just say exclude the BG plate from the sun render tag - there are different ways to have no shadow - but i can not find it in octane - the exclude tab in the octane sun does not exclude the BG ????

and then a future question: i liked the lighting world map of the standalone so much - it was so easy to get the perfect light and shadows - and i think it is not so comfortable in your prg.
the octane daz studio programmer has one in his version - maybe you can get infos from him to do it?

And not so unimportant - because i need it for the Poser octane to run - is the standalone not be able to activate - see screenshot - can they not run together?

don't be to sad about all the people grouch about your program - i think they are all happy to have it - but want help you to get it perfect you did a very amazing job so far.
