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?

Test it with other scenes, also try different settings gpu option. You are first people report this

Just started a few smaller projects today so I'll keep an eye on times. The live viewer is still very fast, it's just the picture viewer that takes a while to start. Will monitor the situation

nice, check it for all projects or not. Also check with different gpu priority options, also close LiveView while rendering

Great work with the plugin. Super impressed with the speed.

Keep getting this error msg. See attached. c4d bombs out when this appears. It happens when Im using other apps – so c4d is idle in the background.

Cheers

If it occurs a few times, can you send me PM with console output and crash output.txt

Hi ahmed

just tested the new Version - working well here - no crash so far!!!!!!

by the test with Poser people import i could recordnize a little thing
if i put real Hdri texture in the texture enviroment it takes a lot longer then put just a normal jpg in there - but it looks more real (hdr 2min 29sec - jpg 1min 09 sec)
i took the same picture - once as jpg and as a hdr - and you can see that the hdr reacts more than a real lightsource - next step: try SSS on skin
if you only need reflections and speed then a jpg is alright - if you need real lighting you need hdr

but all examples from rainasawus where made with normal jpgs - why?
because it is faster? Do you know it?

Hello,
Can I somehow change the postproduction and Camera Imager during rendr with final resolution as I could in version Stand Alone?

Yes, if you use related tabs on Octane CameraTag.

@cbmotion:
I'm not sure about speed different for jpg or hdr. But jpg has not lighting data. I prefer Hdr or exr. He can be try to save space with jpgs.
Keep it your nice works,
Regards

I explained it incorrectly. What I meant is while rendering a picture into final resolution can I adjust parameters in Octan Camera Tag – Camera Imager - Postproduction?

If you start to picture viewer all access to Octane is locked. You can change parameters, but not change actual render. Realtime updating is only for Live View Window
