OTOY Forums

I noticed serious issue with Octane and the new 2024 version. Octane completely stopped to update interactively all xpresso scripts ! All my scripts stopped to work. For example if you have driven sun position with xpresso and slider - it doesn't work until mouse is released. I tried changing xpresso tag priority without success

Even built-in window objects from C4D Asset Browser which are xpresso based doesn't update in Octane - please try.

Capsule scene nodes the same ! This is huge limitation...

You can talk to Maxon if there are something different to that's fixed. We didn't change anything about it!

Yes I suppose that you didn't change anything but Maxon. I thought that this is normal work to make plugin fully functional and tightly integrated after every Maxon changes. At the moment all xpresso, scene node modules and probably other real-time plugins are not realtime in Octane

EDIT : Octane works fine only in viewport rendering mode

Not only xpresso and scene nodes doesn't update in realtime. Every procedural object, cloner, deformer doesn't update if numeric fields or sliders are used.

Ok I found the reason. It's not an update issue on detection part, LV surface is refreshing in a different mode in 2024. It looks like called in out of main thread. I've fixed for now with a small change.

Fantastic news that you found the reason ! Octane was always famous with interactivity, I was little scared that we lost it

Thank you very much, works perfectly as always ! You can repair it within much less time than Maxon needs to broke it

I forgot to add before examples of the opacity and transmission PBR tags - here are examples of filenames from popular vendors :

Hello,

I get these artifacts from post volume lights:

I love new octane btw! Packed with new things!
One q: going forward all lights should set to analytics I guess?

Thanks!

Getting constant cuda 700 error (despite trying multiple drivers)

Any ideas?

Changing Camera white point doesn't work in realtime like before.

Bloom power and cutoff parameters have different max values in Attributes window than in Octane Settings window - cutoff 4096, bloom max only 1200 depends on window width.

All Camera Imager and Postprocessing options doesn't work realtime when they are connecting to xpresso - they works again - only in viewport rendering mode.

I think that you should do the same with Camera Tag because every reference to this tag from C4D interface is not triggered to Octane LV

It all works fine in Cinema 2023 but not in 2024.
