Unfortunately Woodgrain is not even close to as good as Advanced Wood. Advanced Wood is made with OSL (AdvancedWood.osl attached). It would be great if Otoy could tweak OSL to make it work as well in Octane as it does in other renderers.

How do I get Advanced Wood map to work in Octane? Which projection to use to get this result?

I have a strange bug, if I use Octane Render, and click on the 3dsmax icon in the taskbar or on the taskbar preview, 3dsmax freezes. This does not happen with other renderers.

Thank you. Very useful update.

Is there any way to make the Phoenix Ocean Vector Map work with the Octane Vector displacement?
