Bezier Curve Errors

Hi,

I just got my blender plug-in and have an animation along a spline (Bezier curve).
Its a carpet that unfurls with particles system made of carpet fibers.
When I try to render I get an error an no output.

I'm using the BLender with Octane Build, and Octane version 2.24.2

Here's the error message.

<!> event has invalid window
Octane: The mesh "BezierCurve.002" is empty
Octane: ERROR loading materials of transform. Server response:
Error loading scatter material map: "Carpet Curl__BezierCurve.002_m__".


Is this a bug, or something I need to correct on my end (perhaps baking it a special way).

Thanks
James

I think it's because Octane doesn't know what to do with a bezier curve. You will need to convert it to a mesh before Octane will be able to use it.

Thanks,

I need the curve for my animation, but put it on another layer and everything worked fine.

Hmm, have you converted it to a path? The plugin shouldn't see a path as an object. At least I have used them before and it worked fine.
