we're having a bit of an issue using the slide modifier in Max. We quite often use this to animate objects in or out, and we've been using Octane for years without problems.
Now however, when we use an animated slice to reveal an object, the object doesn't appear in the render/the live viewer at all. We're on 4.01.01.
It does appear if you open the live viewer past the first few frames but not if you play it/render it from the beginning.
It does appear if at the start of the slicing movement, a part of the object is already visible.
It does not appear if your slice starts with none of the object visible. Unfortunately this is exactly what we need. I've noticed this issue for a while now and am not sure with which Octane version exactly it started, but it definitely didn't use to be like this before. This is a huge problem as we're at the end of a project and ready to render but running into this issue.
Has anyone come across this and has any suggestions on how we can solve this?
Edited to add: The last version where sliced objects appear is 3.07. From 3.08 on it doesn't work anymore. Unfortunately we need the denoiser & metallic materials so cannot downgrade to 3.07.
