[Refracty]

Octane fails to start and hangs.

only a fire wall issue - I will go into testing now

It's impossible to use this release, Octane crash costantly!

Crashes constantly for me too...back to v2.57.

Have you guys downloaded the updated version from today? The links on the first page were updated with a patched version.

If yes, then describe the situations when it crashes. Just saying it's crashing is not very helpful.

i've also a lot of crash in opening 257's scenes but no problems with old ones, probably is related to the new light sampling system

Matej You're right, but if I did not give specific feedback, it's because I can not find out the origin of the problem.
And yes, I downloaded the new upldate.
Octane crashes without any logical sense. Not a problem on a specific material / node or parameter, since it crashes if I change the opacity for example, if I change any node, if I change a value of environment, if I copy a node, if I import a node if I change random value in the kernel ..
I have also tried to reload the scene without export from XSI, but it is always the same.
Same question with new or old scene.
I hope to be helped.

^ That sounds very strange.

Just for the record; I've been working with it today for about two hours, but experienced no problems at all. It feels stable like 257.

Maybe I understood what is the problem, I hope. I was reminded just now .. I Using the toolkit 4.2 of CUDA. It is the only reason, I can't see other solutions. Tomorrow I'll try to reinstall it.

With this release, i start Octane render, import with an mesh-node an *.obj and octane will not render.
But if i start C4D and use the exporter, octane start render. I´m confused.

By the way, this release is an living sign of octane, but in my opinion it is better on the final version of the standalone to work as a plugin solutions to all.

Can you start the render by right-clicking the mesh node and selecting "Render"? If so you have disabled automatic previewing of mesh nodes. Otherwise, is it a problem with all the OBJ files you try to load?

Hi Roeland,

Thanks for the new release. I'm just posting the bugs as I find them.

Very tiny bug, the tool tip on the subsampling icons is the same on the 4x4 icon as the 2x2 icon.
