Hey,

I was wondering, if there was a way to use the vray material converter without having vray installed?

I used to work with a vray demo that was permanent for 3dsmax 2017, but now my 2017-license expired, so I can't open it anymore. The new vray demo for 2019 isn't permament, so now I don't ...

Hey J.C,

thank you for your answer. Ok, that is a workaround.

But why is there only a vray-converter in 3ds max and not in the other octane plugins? People have to use vray-model-presets there aswell right?

Greetings

Hey Beppe,

thank you for your answer. That sounds promising. I will test it as soona s it's available... Do you know when that would be?

Also I've got another question: Is there a material converter in Octane for C4D that converts Vray-materials into Octane materials? I mean corresponding to the ...

Hey everyone,

due to the recent Autodesk subscription and pricing politics, I am currently thinking about moving from 3ds Max to C4D (or maybe another modelling software). As I have not yet much knowledge about C4D :oops:, I was also wondering if there were any other compatibility issues to be ...

Hey everyone,

I am working with 3ds max and Octane and am thinking of switching to another modelling software. Thus I am wondering, if there is a material converter included in the Octane for Blender plugin as there is in the 3ds max plugin? I'd have to convert Vray-Materials into Octane-Materials ...

Hey Paride,

thank you for your answer, I will try your way later, sounds very good. I'm sure that was, what I was looking for.

Yes, I will also go ahead and ask in the C4D forum, but thought maybe someone who is currently working also with 3ds max could compare

Hey everyone,

due to the recent Autodesk subscription and pricing politics, I am currently thinking about moving from 3ds Max to C4D (or maybe another modelling software). Therefor I was wondering if it was possible to export my Octane materials or even my whole material libraries from 3ds max, so ...

Hi Paride,

thank you for sending the scene. I tested it. It worked although the opacity of your materials was set to 1 and the error only occurs if the opacity is set to 0 and the scene was simple with small small light sources.

As you suggested, I imported my geometry and camera from my scene ...

Hi HHbomb,

I already tried this but I tested it in the scene with the lights again after your suggestion. Unfortunately the error remains the same

Hi Paride,

thank you for your answer but all of my lights already are geometry with black body emission. I am not working with Octane lights...

Greetings
