Hi aoktar

your new version works fine here by me - very solid!!!!
I have just discovered a new problem - it's about the plugin "Laubwerk" - plants plugin - very good by the way.
I also talked to the developer about the problem and he says it unfortunately is a octane problem. it works with selective tags for materials.
here is the link for a free object. freebie
http://www.laubwerk.com/store/

plus a quick C4D builtin document from the developer to show the problem.
neither the plants object nor the sweepnurb can be render with octane render as it did not appear the selective concealed material interpreted.

maybe it is in your next version - think there will be other applications that need it.

cheers

did you try invert option?

I tested the 0.5.7 release, with a mid-complex scene, and I noticed that is very very slow compared to the 0.5 release (0.2 Ms/s vs 1.5 Ms/s). GTX 590 - driver 320.18 whql. If I switch back to the 0.5 release I get a quick result without crashes. Do you think I will reach more speed if I downgrade the nvidia driver too?

hi Aoktar - yes i tried nearly all i think
invert does only the octane render invert

i attach the dokument and tif

cheers

did you check gpu memory usage? I have detected on some situations when memory is filled

you're right, the memory is enough but it's on the way to be filled

can you test with smaller or less textures? I have noticed with lot of big textures this slowdown. I'm not sure it's for only last sdk or general problem

Yes I can do it for you, but not today... maybe tomorrow

i'm not sure to understand what you asking. If you talk about viewport preview problem of alpha, that's not supported actually.
Also i'm trying to install this plugin, but not works in c4d. I have downloaded free package and run and install but not starting.
