Great!
Thank you

Is the ZDepth-Max Adjustment Problem fixed in this version?

Thanks for the update!

First thing i've noticed:
It overwrites the transform nodes of images when I load a scene created before the update.
I would say this is a bug.

Why do you force display mode to OpenGL Legacy? It doesn't seem to improve viewport in anyway (textures still not visible in normal usage). I use DirectX for most of my shaderFX work, and well, the display mode is being called "legacy" for a reason.

Please do not make hidden changes to our Maya environment if you are reckless. Or at the very least document them. On 8.0 it was tolerable because it was alpha.

@Ivankio

Reverted that change. Download links have been updated.

@QuinceHungaryKft

The transform is not duplicated anymore.
A maya API function MPlug::isConnected() did return false, even though the MPlug was connected.
AD got a ticket for that.

Download links have been updated.

@Refracty

No it is not, if the ZDepth-Max Adjustment problem would have been fixed I would have listed in >CHANGES SINCE THE PREVIOUS VERSION<.

If I'm not mistaken, Octane 2 itself (standalone) doesn't support 10xx, only Octane 3 does support them.

I am having a problem, because when you activate the movable proxy or resapeable proxy attribute for an object, the camera mapped texture does not work anymore, it only works when the object is in global, but I cant hide camera visibility or shadow visibílity in with a global attribute.
