Animating a Bump map in octane (latest 2.x)

[Jerpan]

So I am trying to animate a regular plane as water, by having a animated bump map loop. It works just fine in the normal C4D renderer but I can't get it to work with octane the way I want to.

I do however get it to work by using "Resend all scene data" in the Geometry engine. That is not a setting I would like to use since I also have a heavy displacement map in this scene and it would take forever to render.

As I have understood by reading up on this, Using "Resend only updated Objects" and in Geometry control; checking "Manual Assignment" should solve the problem by sticking an object tag to my plane, but it does not...

Any ideas smart people of the internet?

Please post some details about your setup. At least your material in a scene.

Think I solved it by animating the cycles parameter in the bump.

Just changing "animation speed", etc.. parameters in a noise not enough. Plugin is built as an state-machine and checks for update messages. I case it will never get and update message. Your solution is correct.
