René - are Modo701 and Modo801 installed on the same PC? If so, they are both using the same installation of the plugin, so I am baffled how 801 could give an error whereas 701 does not.

Yes they're running on the same PC side by side. That's why I am baffled too...face_off wrote:René - are Modo701 and Modo801 installed on the same PC? If so, they are both using the same installation of the plugin, so I am baffled how 801 could give an error whereas 701 does not.

Hi Paul,
I figured out the problem. I had installed a trial version of the new Power Translators plugin. After deinstallation of the Power Translators Plugin the Octane for MODO plugin is running fine again...It seems the plugins are interfering...kind of.

Great work! The only thing I've come across so far is that animating the Focal Depth for the camera in Octane Settings doesn't render out to an animated sequence, it just stays with what is set for the first keyframe. I noticed that I had to turn on "Load all frames into Octane" to get it to render out an animated camera move, and I couldn't remember if that was true before. But that still didn't fix the focal depth issue, even though you could see it changing when scrubbing the timeline. I even checked "Reload Materials Each Frame" hoping it would force it to recalculate but it didn't.
