This is one of our recent projects in Bursa / Turkey.

Some techical information about project;
Used 14 x 1080 TI
Rendering time ; aprox 1-1.5 minutes per frame (mostly scene update time because of hundreds of animated foliage and tree)

Octane version is 3.08 (not 4, no ...

I'm trying this version for a couple of days. Generally it's very fast and works stable for me. BUT; I guess there is a big problem with Forest Pack plugin. Because if there are some forest objects in scene 3ds Max crashes very often. Changing environment texture, entering material editor, importing ...

There was a problem in 5.03 with octane camera. In my scene there are a lot of forest objects and limited by an octane camera . During the animation rendering after one or two frames 3ds max hangs and cant update next frame. I tried with physical camera there is no problem. I'll try 5.04 but there ...

Anybody can help me?
I found this osl texture for interior mapping;
http://julius-ihle.de/?p=2451

This shader really good idea for mapping interiors on a plane.

But anyway to do this with spherical or cubic panoramas?
I want to place a 360x180 or cubic panorama on a plane with parallax mapping ...

OSL string doesn't appear in 3ds max OSL texture paramaters but octane standalone...

string input_tex = "" [[ string label = "input texture"]],

But if I put filename in code it loads texture but still doesn't appear in max' osl parameters.

string input_tex = "c:/picture.exr" [[ string label ...

When I click UV transform slot (2d transformation) in RGB texture for changing uv positions it shows Material/Map browser and projection maps (box,spherical,osl projection etc.). If I choose any then puts in projection slot. Never enter UV transform.It happens in an old project saved with 3.06 - max ...

Thank you again. Now I'm sure about surface brightness...

thank you for your reply. I know I can increase exposure value like a real world camera. My problem is octane light emission's surface brightness option. I can't be sure that I must enable or disable it for a real world light simulation.
When I say "it's very dark" I mean when I compare real world ...

I can't be sure about surface brightness. For example I use a circular surface for spot light. I set power to 850 lumen and effiency to 0.0014. (https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=62045&p=329618&hilit=lumen#p329618) But when I leave surface brightness disabled it is not looking right ...

This information about using lumen values is really useful. Thank you. But I can't be sure about surface brightness. For example I use a circular surface for spot light. I set power to 850 lumen and effiency to 0.0014. But when I leave surface brightness disabled it is not looking right. Light seems ...
