octane live viewer keeps updating

after working in a file for two weeks the updater is starting to get a bit dodgy. It basically keeps updating all the time, most of the time when i move my mouse or whatever i do. Especially in the first moments when i do an adjustment of the textures it keeps updating, after a while it stops updating and the live viewer starts to render the final result till i move my mouse and it starts to update again and the render in the liveviewer starts over again and keeps repeating this for a while.

This is very frustrating and time consuming.

What can i do about this?

I don't know your content and your experience. But some objects or setups can cause extra updates. Especially render instances on cloners and effectors, etc..
This is not a simple problem to solve. You may disable update controls if you're frustated. That's all.

It's not reasonless. As i said some objects produce update messages. Most likely re-rendering will happen if you try default renderer on interactive mode. Disable update checking for objects.

I have the same problem, all is cached in the scene but the IPR viewer keeps update even I am on the same frame... What is happening, I feel like it did not happen before.

Hi,

please try with standard c4d layout + Live View.

Some c4d windows can give issues to Live View update.

ciao,
