Erick - Can you try deleting the preferences file(s) in C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\OctaneRender\, and let me know if that resolves the cuda errors.

Regarding the popup - it is being triggered because the last release was 1.29 and it is detected the scene was saved with 1.25. I will filter that out so it only triggered when a 1.20 scene is loaded.

Paul

After deleting the pref. file, I get the following:

No new file was written in this folder.

Just an idea .. could this be, because I still have Octane Renderer vers.1.20 installed?
Didn't bother with updating it yet.
I always update the plugin, not the standalone software.

Ah yes - maybe. Can you try installing and running Octane Standalone 1.29 - that might fix it.

Uhhhmm...you mention OctaneRender standalone 1.29...everything I can download when I log-in to my customer account is 1.20???
How come ?

EDIT: Nevermind...didn't know the download section in the customer area doesn't get updated.
Just found 1.29 in the boards...

I just updated to 1.29 and for some reason a lot of my meshes appear like they need to be subdivided in Octane. This hadn't been the case before when I was on the Stable version. Is there a render option I need to fix?

Under setup in plugin window, make sure smooth by default is checked.

Cool. I'll do that. I didn't figure it was a bug, but couldn't find the thing to click. Subdividing everything was getting old!

I have refreshed the installer at the top of this thread with a small update:

1.29.0.20
- Suppressed the warning popping up when loading pz3 files saved with plugin version 1.25
- Fixed minor issue with the conversion of Poser materials where if the texturemap had a U_Scale or V_Scale not equal to 1, the Octane transform was not setting the "translation" correctly

So here's something I'm pretty sure I used to be able to do but can no longer do.

Load an object (I'm using V4 but it doesn't matter). Bring up Octanes material list. Copy an RGBSpectrum node. Change that node to a Mix node. You can't paste the RGBSpectrum node into texture1 or texture2 unless you change the node type to something else first.

This is an example but it appears you can't paste any node into a node listed as [Not Connected] even if you could change that node to the type you are trying to paste. There's a work around of course, just seems awkward and I'm not sure if it's intentional.
