Is there a some kind of a trick to make Octane start rendering? I'm using the latest demo version, but after loading any of the demo scenes nothing happens. The viewport stays gray, and the texture/tri/mesh count reads 0/0/0. I'm using a GTX670, latest Nvidia drivers (331.93) and Windows 7 x64. Maybe there's something simple that I'm missing...

Thanks.

Hi,

You will need to click on something in the graph editor.
By default materials, meshes and render targets will render when you click on their nodes.
You can turn this off with the toolbar icons of the graph editor, then you will need to right click on nodes and hit 'render'.

Thanks
Chris.

Thanks for the quick response, Chris, that indeed did the trick!

I have to say Octane seems simply wonderful after using offline renderers.
