Wow... that is the best news of the year, thanks

Paride,

Do you have this issue too ? This is a fresh scene

Hello Paride,

the issue is with the .aur files not being readen correctly, .vdb files look ok

Could you confirm that the 3ds Max setup panel and material editor are opening slowly on your computer too please ?

+1 for the .AUR visualisation issue !

Everything is slower with the latest releases, opening Render Setup / Material Editor / Octane Camera takes so long, am I the only one ?

Hello,

Any news about this subject ?

Hello,

I feel you, phoenix FD fire looks quite bad in any render engine that is not VRay or Corona...

That being said your grid is waaayyy too big for this small fire source, you need also to put a volume step % between 0,1 and 0,01 in your volume medium.

Check the remap option that neonZorglub ...

I will check that, thanks

Thank you neonZorglub, it's working waaay better now !

Motion blur not working with the remap is a big topic though, will it be corrected with the next release ?

Wonderful, thank you very much neonZorglub !

Hello NeonZorglub,

Thank you for your work ! When you say "Fixed issues with Octane Volume objects" it means that you solved the issue with Phoenix FD as well ?

Skipping the Max 2025 release wan't a problem but 3ds Max 2026.1 is a good release with nice improvements, Octane is the only render ...
