Hi,

Pulling my hair out here.
In a bid to see if installing on a different computer would fix a problem I have (see below), I cannot for the life of me get the plugin to show up in the cinema menus.

I'm on R19 .068, and have updated all libraries etc, this computer has the 3.08.5 standalone installed which opens fine, Version 3.08.5-R3 (latest stable) 24.10.2018 of the plugin, I have CUDA 10 installed and the latest nvidia driver 416.34, the two GPUs are Titan Vs.
I've attempted this and several previous versions in both the root plugin folder and the one via Cinema's Preferences.
I've installed Octane several times over the last few years and have never had this much trouble. Can anyone shine a light please?


--Main problem--
For some reason I cannot get my scene to render past frame 208, despite being no where near the polygon limit and not having any non-octane materials or shaders - nothing is showing in the octane log either, it just goes as though the render has finished to a single black frame no matter what frame I choose after 208.
GPUs (two 970s) do not come under load at all.

Thanks
Corey

Hey,
Sorry to hear your troubles!
1-But where did you installed the plugin? It goes under to Cinema4D/plugins/c4doctane rather than prefs folder. Did you checked console output on start of C4D?
2-Do you have C4D textures in your materials?

Hi aoktar, thanks for your response.

1- I've installed the plug in in the Cinema4D/plugins/c4doctane, I only tried the other one as last ditch effort. Console isnt showing anything at all on start up of C4D.
2-No, no C4D textures, only Octane's ones - ImageTexture, Blackbody emission etc

Baffling! Not had trouble like this with Octane before, it's served me very well up til now!

1-I'll try on 19.068, maybe you try on 19.057? Btw you don't need to install Cuda, it's a part of nvidia driver.
2-And what do you have in this frame? Any interesting setups? Can't say much without seeing content. Maybe you can post log output from Console window?

Any idea how I can get 19.057? I cant find any lower version installers on the Maxon website.
There are some dynamics but thats the only thing I can think of, I can delete or hide the entire thing but to no avail.

The attached Jpeg shows my lack of help from the console and log. Unfortunately I cant share the project file due to NDAs.

Thanks

Please delete some objects and materials until the problem goes away so. I cannot know more in case.
