First remove all octane related stuff from plugins and main folder of Cinema4D.

Thanks for the quick update. I will test soon.
There are additional requests.


Currently the Forester - Multi Cloner works well.
However, Display Points must be Off.

If turn off Display Points, the viewport will be very slow.
This is a major hindrance to work.

If you can get information from the Forester developer
Can I render with Display Points on?

It will be supported on forester 2.0.

Thanks for the release Ahmet! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for a super quick release Ahmet!

I'm happy to report that ( as I suspected ) 3.08.2 SDK fixed this material preview crash with raytype(). Also, Marcus confirmed that the same bug fix was in the V4 XB3. That explains why V4 was working fine for me.

Cheers
Milan

Hi Milan,
Good to hear! It was a core problem as we found! Please share if you find any problems about OSL, many thanks!

Will there be a patch that implements more GPU's to be used for the subscription users before the full Release of V4?

I'm not sure if it would be a simple flip of a switch for you all or if it's something that will require more testing with users to fully maximize the new capabilities.

I am excited either way and I am scooping up a few 1080ti's for the V4 drop when it drops!

Just a reminder again about vdb's viewport preview. They seem so show 1/4 of the cloud shape, no matter what vdb i use ( i posted that in 3.08 2 i think again). cheers

I had to do a release, so I couldn't finished to fix it.

No worries, thanks.
