OctaneDB not opening

[miohn]

Hi there,
working with Blender 5.0 and the Octane Addon.

I only be able to open the OctaneDB once (if any) and then sometimes
I cannot import/load materials.
After closing the octaneDB Window it never showes up again.
Is this a known limitation or bug?
I'm new to Blender so sorry if I ask silly questions!

What I'm doing wrong here?

And why can't I get an answer to my question about ORBX Loader?
Does this mean I cannot load an ORBX-File with the Addon-version at all?

thanks
Mike

DB seems to work fine here in 31.6.
Which version are you using? Win or Mac? Free or Studio?

Hi Lino,

still working with Blender 5.0 and 31.5

My Problem with 31.5 is, that I can open OctaneDB only once!
When I close it and want to load it again a bit later it never shows up anymore.

Will try 31.6 asap and come back!

thanks Mike

hmm with 31.6 and Blender 5.1 at first it worked well!
Could open and close OctaneDB several times, but after a while
it does not open again!
No matter if I try to open it via Octane Server or the Window-Bar on the top.

Only when I quit Blender and start again the OctaneDB shows up again.

I'm primarily looking for the best and easiest way to transfer my C4D assets
from the C4D asset browser to Blender.
As far as Octane materials are concerned, I was just thinking about Octane LocalDB.
In C4D I move all materials into the LocalDB and load the mats from there in Blender.
Unfortunately the materials when I open OctaneDB in
Blender doesn't always update.
