OTOY Forums

Hi everybody,
I like to share incoming version that's based new Octane Render Core. Last version is 1.37. You can see topic about it on below link. Internal structure of Octane has been changed and still is continuing to be improved. This is a development release, that means don't rely to this version for Commercials jobs until it's fixed. Please just test it. This means please don't use on any jobs, i can't give a guarantee about backward compitability or stability. New sdk contains some big invisible changes, even plugins. We are still working to complete this changes. Also New Octane Api is not stabile stage.

Plugin versin: 1.23.2 (Last development version)

changes since version 1.20

- New Live Viewer functionality:
Live Viewer has now these:
1) Allow material drag and drop from material manager and LiveDB, so you can easily assing materials to movable(has Octane Objecttag) or static objects(without any objecttag)
2) Select materials, object, dof from liveviewer by clicking RMB on any object
3) Assigning a ObjectTag from LV, so this makes that selected object will be movable. This operation will cause restart on rendering.
4) Copy/paste materials throught LV via popup menu or Ctrl+LMB / Ctrl+RMB
- SDK 1.37 features
- Compatibility for HDR Light Studio http://www.hdrlightstudio.com/
- fix for stop/restart rendering buttons: Now gpu frequency can go down

Hi Ahmet-
Really looking forward to seeing what you've been working on. Unfortunately I get an instant repeatable crash just opening C4D. This is my home computer running 15.038. I'll update to 15.057 but I'm guessing that's not it. I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks! Happy Holidays!

Alec

It's great to see visibility options !

Thanks!

Are you sure that you did correct file structure as picture? Also win8.1 and R15 combination? We have still same problem on activation procedure. I hope Otoy guys will help for that.

Also you too, happy holidays

Yep. Here's a pic. I'm using Windows 8.0 on this one. Upgrading C4D to .057 now. I'll let you know what's up shortly.

Thanks

Hi Ahmet-

OK, this is getting weird. I stepped back to Beta .92 under 15.057 and it still crashed on launch. Odd. I then deinstalled the Standalone licence and the plugin licence for this computer. Waited a bit. Ran C4D and it opened fine. Of course it's not active. I then reactivated the standalone license and Cinema crashed on launch again. Seems to be tied to the standalone license. But how do I fix that?

Any ideas?

Thanks~
