Hi,

Can some one help me solve a problem please?

Blender (2.65.0 -r53189 64bit) crashes when hitting the render animation button! I can render a single frame (any one i choose) fine but as soon as I hit render animation Blender crashes

I am using Lionels Plugin v1.20 and Octane Render 1.0 beta 2.58e, this only seems to happen with the current project that I am working on!

The Blender scene contains the following:

Poser character (imported via collada DAE),
Plane mesh as a floor,
HDRI image for background..

Not sure what settings you would need to know regarding Octane Render?
System/software specs below, thanks for reading

Additional info:

this issues happens with either OctaneRender_1_00_RC3_win64 OR Octane Render 1.0 beta 2.58e, if that helps at all?

Please feel free to ask for any other info that I have missed out that you may need to help me resolve this problem, Thank you

Ok, so reading the following..

I should be using V1.17 of Lionels plugin for animation, correct?

Just going to test it now

NOPE

I have tried octanerender.1.19.3.7z, V1.17, 1.19 and 1.20... All seem to result with Blender crashing

It must be something I am/am not doing correctly in Blender! Any Ideas folks

Ahhaaaaa..

This post resolved my issue

A big thank you to Matej...As usual

Re-posted here to save lazy fingers who come across this problem

Here's a solution:

open the file <your Blender installation>/2.63/scripts/addons/octanerender/engine.py

and change the line 364 from:
Code:
self.end_result(result)

to:
Code:
self.end_result(result, False)

(or search for this line if it's not exactly there in your version)

UPDATE...

Kinda, spoke too soon!

It seems that if I have the armature selected before hitting Render Animation, THEN Blender crashes BUT if I deselect everything in my scene and just select the Floor (plane mesh), then Render Animation works just fine!!!

Weird
