OTOY Forums

This only started happening in 2022.1. Anytime I try to rotate the sky, it won't automatically update in Live Viewer. I get a little green updating message, but nothing changes, and I have to send the scene every time I want to see changes. Hope ya'll can sort it out soon. Pretty big issue for me personally. And yes, all my "check updates" are activated. Latest studio driver.

Any chance you can do a screen capture of your interaction, Scott?

Deleting Material from Material Layer removes nodes that were connected to it too even if they are not connected already :

Hello, is the network renderer not working in this iteration of the plugin right now? Because everything works in the standalone.

Why don't you use ImageTexture to load images? Using XBitmap is not correct way for Octane.

I tried with few of them and it's always same behavior.
Octane for OpneGL is checked.
I try with adding materials and run some other tries.
I'll let you know
Thanks!

What's the situation there?

Hey Ahmet!
Most of scenes are not loading materials, sometimes they do.
I'm not sure if it depends by my PC, I'm going to check further.
The weird thing is that once I open scene the materials seem to be loaded and one by one they become white, then later, and not always, there's another round of update where I see textures.
If I could see textures on the first round would be awesmoe since would be really fast.
Thanks again for your support, Ahmet!
Have a great day

For old scene you don't have cached previews. When you open old scenes, it will start to re-generate the viewport textures. Seeing white during the preview generation stage that's normal. It will display these when preview completed on the materials. After that it will immediately will display the textures when you re-open a scene after save operation. This is the new expected workflow of plugin. Let the plugin prepare the viewport textures in background. It should do it one by one in some time.

See this video, you can see how it's working after previews done and saved. It will now wait or regenerate these on new load.

Crystal clear, Ahmet!
Awesome.
I'll run some new tries, anyway the video was really helpful!
Thanks again for your work!
Cheers

Network Render works great in c4doctane 2022.1: Please, make sure to have enabled both Private and Public Connections in Windows Firewall, for C4D, and report back, thanks: ciao,
