Hi Paride4331

Thanks - I can confirm that the playback rate for RGB Image Sequence now works in the demo.

But, the Start frame still doesn't work as expected: Try setting the start frame (in the RGB Image map) to 400 on a 500 frame sequence (or any number above 0), with loop enabled in the RGB ...

Can anyone answer this? If I had permission to upload images on the forum, I'd be happy to share example of issue I'm talking about.

@Paride: Try setting the Start frame to 50 inside the RGB Image texture - not in the timeline. And try setting another playback rate for the RGB Image texture (eg. 2.0 instead of 1.0).

Hi Paride

In your own example scene, try doing the following:
1. Set your Image RGB "Seq. playback rate" option to anything other than 1.0 - and drag the time slider. When I do it, the playback rate snaps back to 1.0 (instead of 2.0, 0.5, etc.).
2. Set start frame to 50 and enable Loop - and drag ...

Just installed and tested with new version you linked. Same issues - playback rate ignored + start frame set to 50 will freeze frame 0-49 even when Loop is enabled.
Give me an email address and I'll send you a zipped max scene example.

I'm trying the Octane demo (OctaneRender_Demo_2026_2_for_3dsmax_v26.6.exe) for 3ds max 2026 and ran into an issue:

Vertex Displacement's Auto bump map is amazing for great + fast displacement results, but it's not pretty when zoomed in. I do understand that nothing will magically increase the ...

I'm trying the Octane demo (OctaneRender_Demo_2026_2_for_3dsmax_v26.6.exe) for 3ds max 2026 and ran into some issues:

1. RGB Image sequence playback rate value is stuck at 1.0. I tried setting it to 0.5, 2.0, 3.0 - any value will pop back to 1.0 once I scrub the timeline. Demo limitation or random ...

Glad to hear the idea has interest from more users! I think it could be a really useful feature.

Hi

Feature idea/request:
The ability to project a texture through a light source - but control the shadow sharpness separately from the projected texture. I know this is not physically correct, but this would enable many uses - one of them being the ability to project sharp caustics on underwater ...
