Hey guys!

I have a problem texturing in octane for a few days.
All new textures I gererate are black. If I load an already
textured model the textures are fine. If I replace one
image with a new one, the texture turns black. Once
I replace that image with the original, everything turns
out okay. I juast can't change images or texture new
objects. Kinda strange. Any ideas?

Cheers.

Hmm, I've never seen anything like that. Have you tried to reset your LightWave config files and/or install the Octane plugin again? Usually, a black texture means that Octane can't read the file, so perhaps another explanation can be related to a permissions problem, but it is hard to say ...

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, Juanjgon! Spent a few hours trying out
stuff. Used the same model and textures all the time, but
your answer got me thinking. Long story short: there was
a dot in one of the root folders. Once I removed it, everything
worked fine! Silly me!

Cheers.

Ah, I had not thought about something like that. I'm glad that the problem has been resolved.

Thanks,
