octane crashing incessantly

I keep getting an Octane crash. I'm simply trying to apply a small texture to a mesh within Cinema 4d. Can someone help me as to what in the world is going on? This is really frustrating.

Hi Dive,

I would check the following:
1) Remove all C4D plugins except the ones you require for the scene (there may be some kind of conflict).
2) Check your power supply, that it has enough wattage to run your GPU's

Is your crash repeatable or is it random?
Can you please post your test scene here (and all textures etc) and describe the exact steps that make it crash so we can try to reproduce it on our end.

Thanks
Chris.

Hello guys,

Thanks for the reply. I have enough power I think, with a ax1500i by corsair i should be running very efficently at 1500 watts, which is enough I'm fairly certain. I think it may be the grey scale gorilla light kit, is there an issue with this common plugin used by Cinema 4d users?

Please see my attached scene. thanks.

1500W should be enough.
What C4D version did you save this with? C4D R14 is saying "Incorrect file structure" for me and I cannot load it.

Sorry but still cannot understand what are you trying? This scene has not any octane things, gives some warnings about missing thea stuffes. I see some Thea tags. What's your experience on Octane Render plugin? Do you have some basic info about properly settings the scenes? Or what kind of lights are supported? Omni not supported.

I was trying to use Thea for a project. No I'm new to octane please bear with me. Is there a sticky where I can find non supported features that I should avoid besides the link? Ill change the lights. Also is there a way to get the Grey Scale Gorilla light kit to work with Octane render?
