Yes, i know.
But how, with that few settings, can you specify which camera are exported?
Which objects are exported? Selected, all with hidden or all without hidden?
Or how can you enter the lens aperture / focal depth value? Have Max this settings in his camera?
I think a checkbox for that is nice but it will help nothing when the camera haven´t that value.
This would mean, Softimage users are debarred to use that feature...
Or which light is the sunlight?
What is, when you will render every 2nd frame?
The other think is to render a animation. I use a different way.
I start Octane from Softimage to render the frame. Then i check the running processes.
Is octane.exe missing, Octane are finish and i step a frame forward, export and lanch Octane again to render the frame.
In Softimage i have a progressbar. These show me which frame are rendered and how many are left to render.
Also i can cancel the render.
How can i cancel the render in Max or must i wait till all frames are rendered?
I think, it´s not a way to create a scene only for Octane.
When you work on a project, with many objects, many lights and a couple of cameras, it should be possible to select the things you want to render in Octane.
And it should be not the way, to create all these new, so that Octane can render it.
I will give all users, which are use my plugin, the full control to do what possible is and not to do what they may.
It is not my philosophy to create things with limits. For me it is nice to do what i think.
It would be nice, when this plugin is a part of the software, but it´s not a must have for me.
I make this, because i like it. As hobby, nothing other.
Cheers
