can you render with standalone on your system?

Hi - yes, both C4D and Octane are working fine. It now says "ERROR2: Invalid OctaneLive plugin account or wrong liveId / password combination" but pretty sure they're right - they're the ones from my Octane account. Are these the right ones??

Okay - I'm obviously entering the wrong LiveID and password. What do we enter to get the demo working? Thanks!

did you try deactivation and activation again?

Edit: Demo don't need any account

Hmm. It can't seem to see my GTX 570 - maybe that's the problem.

It says it can't Access to LiverDB either. This is looking grim... nothing works!

Check you firewall or connectivity. Also can you try clean install and remove oct.dat in c4d prefs dir.

i got a feedback from the octane team
maybe it helps other like me - now all is running and i am happy

Octane feedback:
"As mentioned in our site, the initial release of the c4d plugin beta is for Windows platforms only. This may be why there seems to be a conflict there. We suggest installing the recent test build of the c4d plugin version for mac here:
http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=31962

Please note that the above is a test release only. It is your option to wait for this build become stable and announced accordingly on our website. You'll have to be logged in to your forum account in order to access the link.

You may have to deactivate/activate once more but after that hopefully that doesn't pop up anymore. Let us know how it goes for you.

Kind regards,
The OctaneRender Team"

so i downloaded the 1.12 mac standalone and all activation works - plugin and standalone

hope it helps someone

cheers

Hi Aoktar -
just playing around to get confirm with the materials
the index must not be checked - it works everytime - checked or unchecked
and is it just for the glossiness or what is it for?
and reflection i could not really find out what is it for - doesnt change anything - if checked or not - hmm???

and if you load a texture to material you must always say yes if it asked to copie the original to dokument -
normaly i let the textures in the place of my texture folder archiv

cheers

Am I the only one who is not able to download the Mac plugin from the first post? (404 Not Found)
Or have I missed something?

Updated to new version now

Hi Aoktar,

Just an observation on 0.50 I don't remember seeing with 0.34

The render in Octane Live Viewer starts immediately after a short delay to voxelise etc. but a C4D Picture Viewer render seems to now delay for 2-4 minutes in "Preparing....." mode before rendering starts. I'm sure it was almost instant (about the same time to prepare as Live Viewer) before?
