suddenly, after updating C4D to 2023.2.2 my viewport is completely black.
Every Object with any Octane-Material appears black in the viewport.

I can only see whats goining on when I switch to "layer-color-view" or "lines mode".

Any idear, what could cause that?

thanks
Mike

Viewport or materials in the viewport? Both are not same thing.

So I have a stage-object and 2 other objects on the stage (f.e. my startscene "new.c4d") and all is black

The attachment Startscene.jpg is no longer available

Your viewport is fully filled by objects, so viewport is not black. Covered objects are with black textures. Spend some time to play with content to gather more info.

come on!
As I said two times: objects with octane material applied are displayed black in the viewport
Hope these screenshots are understandable now.

Delete oct.dat while C4D not open, it's in prefs folder. And START C4D

All was fine before I updated to 2023.2.2.
Now I'm back to 2023.2.1 but this problem is still present!
I cannot work proberly when I cannot see anything in the viewport, because all objects are displayed black.

Is'nd there a workaround for that?

thanks
Mike

what was again the problem, if octane never finishes a rendering?

Thought there was a solution for that problem, but I don't remember.


Render is ready, but status still saying "Render progress..." and it never stops/saves.
"Show Passes" already disabled!

regards
Mike

It's happening on some setups when render AOVs are used. Work around is to disable the "show passes" parameter

If I disablethe "show passes" parameter, rendering can proceed, but the output image will not have Denoised beauty.
