3ds Max colour problem

[Jani]

Hello,

I don't know whether this is a bug, or I am doing something wrong(in any case, it's not mentioned in the manual), but when I put on a diffuse colour or a texture, it is always 'whittened'( I don't even know if thats the right word). I will try to put it simply:

Diffuse colour set in the material editor
3ds Max Viewport

Colour seen in the render viewport
Octane Render render window

//NOTE// even the material editor's quick preview does bad colouring, it does however show black normally

I have tried all the common sense things such as changing the kernel, playing around with gamma, texture environment/sun&sky, you name it..

Oddly enough, when I was using the demo, this didn't happen(the demo was a bit outdated though). Also, in the standalone version the colours look normal as they should.

Help please, my deadline is coming close.

Hi,

Do you have Max gamma correction enabled?

Here's a set of screens disclosed... As said previously, I don't see where the problem could be.

If I crank up the gamma, the image just gets brighter and less colour-y, if I put it down, I see more colour, but not the right colours(it looks strange anyways)

As for the settings, both of the screenshots the render settings are the same.

looks like some plugin licence issue.
Please try delete all folder with names insdie {...} in
C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Refractive Software\ (just write %appdata% at your win explorer)

Karba thank you, that seems to have worked...

//EDIT//

There is another issue though, ever since I went from 3ds Max Octane Demo to FULL, I can't set the movable proxy boolean, when I right-click on an object, instead of the 'movable proxy' at the very bottom of the list I see 'Missing: 2398'. Is there a quick fix for this?

As I said, it happened straight after I got the full(paid) edition of 3ds max octane.

Thanks .

How do you set movable proxy?

[Jani]

Well, yes, that was what I meant, just the fact that it wasn't working for me :/

What plugin version do you use?

[Jani]

OctaneRender_for_3ds_max_2013_COM_v1.0_beta_2.58f

or so does the file I downloaded say...

//EDIT// It happened when I replaced the files in the 3ds max root from this to the newest version(I also replaced the .../plugins/ file):

OctaneRender_for_3ds_max_2013_COM_v1.0_beta_3.03_demo

OctaneRender_for_3ds_max_2013_COM_v1.0_beta_2.58f

2.58f doesn't support instancing.
Use RC3
