Hello

I have a few issues with Octane 2.20.0 RC2 for Cinema4D R16.

1. Hair only rendering in LiveViewer. I have made a test scene to illustrate the problem.
Someone had a similar issue but there is no information about a fix: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=42566

2. I have a scene which includes a XREF loading a flower which use cloners. It appears that when I first render using the LiveViewer or FinalRender, both display a wrong result (something strange appear in the middle of the flower, I guess it is the original shape used by the cloner). When I turn the camera in the LiveViewer, the artefact disapears... But it remains a big deal because the final render always display the artefact.

I hope the bug report is enough detailed, please let me know if you miss some informations.

Thank you for your hard work, I love Octane.
Kind regards.

Hi,

1- You should change the order Octane and Hair effect in Vpost rendering. It's mentioned in helps.

2- Can you do somethings? Try with latest version 2.22.2 and set ON the "Settings->other->sync. on geo. updates". THis is a different refreshing method to acces geometry caches.
Also try to integrate XREF to scene. Let me know the which steps can solve the problem.

At last, do you have any dynamics effect on objects?

Hello, thanks for the fast reply!

1. It is now solved, thank you.

2. I installed the Plugin and Standalone updates to 2.22.2.
"Sync. on geo. update" is turned ON by default and doesn't solve the problem, neither if I turn it OFF.

I convert the XREF > Bug remains
I copy/paste the flower directly in the current scene > Bug remains
I copy/paste all my objects to a new scene > Bug remains
I remove all dynamic tags from my scene > Bug remains

I create a new scene and include the XREF into it > No bug
I create a new scene and copy/paste the flower > No bug

So it seems to be specific to this scene... but I have no idea what may cause that.

Nice, have you created this scene on older version? Would be nice to see your assets for checking. Or don't mind if it's not ok.
