Hi All,

Is there a way to create a specific color on my 'Material ID' pass? As it is now, there seems to be an automatically assigned color to that channel. Im my case, I want the red to be white without having to mess with it in post.

UPDATE

I got it working, but I'm using the Max plugin 2020.2 - 11.05. This is the only one I could get working. Very strange.

I started installing the newest, which gave me the error code, and each of the less old plugins, which gave me the same error code. I went through 4 plugins though the list, and ended up with OctaneRender_for_3ds_Max_4.05_-_6.34.

Hi All,

I have a newly formatted machine with a new install of 3ds Max. No matter what combination of plugin and standalone I try to install I get met with 'dll error code 126, the specified module could not be found'. I have been installing and uninstalling for hours, and I give up. Does anyone ...

These setting seem to fix the problem, thanks Paride. My question is to the developers, why set the LDR as 'Default Active Viewport' when it creates problems like this? If I save any file when the LDR mode is enabled, the results have errors. Why not have HDR 'viewport mapping tone' set as a default ...

And, even in the most simple test project, Im getting banding. This same banding is not seen on the Octane VFB.

Max file attached. Open it, render it, save it, and see if the error persists? Could this be a GPU driver error on my end?

Paride, take that image and flatten it. Youll instantly see the banding better. I can see the banding on that image as I type. Not only that, the shadows are much darker than in the VFB.

I am also getting this exact error on another project. I am ONLY getting these errors in the newest plugin ...

Lets see if this zipped EXR works as an attachment:

And I might have to supply my Max file to see what's going on? And I should mention, if I open a Max file that worked and rendered with no banding in previous versions of Octane, it renders in the current version with banding. Im thinking of ...

I started a brand new empty scene, and imported my 'problem' Max scene to erase any weird settings that might have gotten checked. I also deleted and defaulted all settings, even with the camera.

The exported EXR from the new scene had the same banding problems.

I tried EXR and get the same banding as the PNG's. Could this be a bug specific to this version of the Max plugin?
