Thanks a lot for your time!
I get this black screen too but only when I switch to camera view. Interactive viewport is fine.
I have a GTX970 and it's all been fine until this update, so not sure what's up
I played with the render passes too, but no joy.

I had the problem, just try to increase the distance for the focus option ...

"Camera / Octane Camera / Autofocus distance > 0"
Works great - thanks!

When I deactivate "Camera or Shadow visibility" under "Meshproperties" then nothing happens, the selected Object is still visibly for the Camera and it generates shadows.
Bug or a missunderstanding of my little dumbhead ?
Kind regards
Alain

Alain, have you set your Mesh type to Scatter?

No, I didn't, it works now.
But if this Objects is behind windowsglass then it doesn't work anymore.
Is there a way to make Objects invisible for Refraction and Reflections as well ?

There is another question:
If I make a linked Copy of an Object in Blender (Alt-d), what I kind of Octane-Object do I have to choose then to NOT load it twice into GPU-Memory, "Movable Proxy" ?

A little Bug:
When define a Renderregion in the Viewport and when I zoom into this Renderregion while rendering, then it cuts the "Octane-Renderregion".
See here:
Kind regards

I may be wrong, but I think you can't make objects invisible for refraction. Maybe try replacing the specular shader with a glossy one (for this you'd need to make your glass planar).
- fake glass without refraction (glossy shader)
You may want to tweak those settings, eg. increase the Opacity to make reflections more visible, etc.

You can find some info here:

In order to make Alt-D instancing work in Octane I set the mesh type to Scatter.
