Realistic Materials only showing black + 3Ds Max Environment Tweet

[efforce]

I have 2 questions:

1. Why can't I see the albedo textures in the 3Ds Max viewport? How can I enable show realistic materials with maps with an octane universal material?

2. I placed an HDR image to "Texture Environment" node and placed it at Environment Map. The HDRI image displayed correctly in Octane viewport - however the HDR image looks "rotated" in the 3Ds Max viewport. How could I resolve it?

3Ds Max version: 2020
Octane plugin version: 2020.2
You can download the Max file with textures to test it out:

Hi efforce,
I don't know what you did in your file.
About the environment I will report the issue.

Could you please let me know how to you enable show maps in 3Ds Max viewport? Thanks.

Hi efforce,
nothing special, pressing "show shaded material in viewport" icon.
