Hi Again,

Also, they guys here have identified other minor bugs (previous versions of plugin as well)

Hi neonZorglub,

A couple of issues with max plugin:

Can you please check this post onwards in 6.14 forum about denoised light passes and provide feedback.

Can anyone else confirm?

Worked fine in 3.x versions.

Wacom drivers caused the issue for us.

Pullakk:

There were significant changes to the core of the max plugin between versions 1.9 to 2.24 and beyond. This means that by default octane 3 cannot read the materials from these old files.

There is a tool for conversion.
Look under the tools tab in the render window - there are checkboxes ...
