Hello guys!

I use octane plugin a lot in 3dsmax. I have old gtx 570. This day I decided to export scene to Octane standalone (pathtracing, dark scene, gloss effects and lot of lights) and it was amazing what I saw. My graphic card gave me over 50 mega samples per second in comparison to only 12 in 3ds max. What is going on?

I was not using Octane standalone for a long time and even forget about its speed.. :shock:

Is there any chance to get this inside max?

Please show us some pictures you got in 3dsmax and in standalone.
I am pretty sure materials, kernel settings and lighting setup are not the same.

Oh Karba, you are right. The settings were tiny different :lol: So the result was pretty good but the speed was totally insane.

Sorry for alarm.

Thanks!

is there a convenient way to export a scene from max to the standalone, or do you have to redo all the materials etc ?

You need to make all the materials once again. :D But I think that it is not big issue. The problem is that plugin version does not recognize standalone material files.
