Issue when trying to render... This is what shows up...

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser 11\Runtime\Python\addons\OctaneRender for Poser\__init__.py", line 87, in Render
File "C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser 11\Runtime\Python\addons\OctaneRender for Poser\UiManager.py", line 5395, in ShowSetupForm
File "C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser 11\Runtime\Python\addons\OctaneRender for Poser\MaterialManager.py", line 192, in CreateNodesFromPoserScene
File "C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser 11\Runtime\Python\addons\OctaneRender for Poser\MaterialManager.py", line 945, in ConvertMaterial
KeyError: 'bumpmap_uTranslate'

What could be the issue here?
When that happens Octane gets stuck in the initial loading of the objects and meterials, so i dont even have materials loaded, it freezes in this state,
and i left it there for over 30 minutes and noting happens...

Octane Render for Poser ver. 2020.1.5.104 Studio
Poser 11 build 11.3.818
Windows 10
128GB RAM
2x Nvidia 3090
Nvidia driver 461.09

The Octane plugin stops working as it was giving up, poser isn't locked as it usually is when Octane is loading. The logs dont show anything, as if the
situation never happened, the timecode when it happened is not present... When I open materials tab its completely empty... I dont know whats up...

Where am I supposed to get those files??? In a different folder there are pyc files, i tried just changing their extensions to *.py but they dont work that way...

I'm sorry, I'm not being a real help here, but just want to remember, that Paul left a few notes (also in red) in the very 1st post, of the topic "OctaneRender 2020 for Poser [TEST and STABLE]".

Maybe they can be of help somehow.

Thank you... The problem is it gets stuck before loading any materials, so my materials window is empty... the most of the points in that post
don't apply to my situation though... Thanks for trying to help

The problem is caused by having a bump map connected to the Gradient bump in Poser surface. If you connect it to the bump channel the problem goes away. If this is the case, check all materials for the same problem, usually the creator of those mat files uses this method in all materials.

The gradient Bump node needs either a specially formatted BMP file (Gradient Bump mode) or and NORMAL map (tangent or Object mode).

In the scenes where that happens im not using any gradient bumps...

I have that problem regularly when I use "old" props.
It used to be no problem, but in one of the latest versions of the octane plugin it became an issue and caused this problem.
If you use any 3rd party props, check if anything is connected to the gradient bump.

You were right! The problem was with the poser nodes, i removed blindly some of them that were not recognized by Octane and it started working thanks for giving me a clue!
