OctaneRender® for 3ds max® v2.02

Fri Jul 04, 2014 11:39 am

hello karba, I write to let you know a problem I'm having, when I activate the render region, render times grow exponentially, something that did not happen with 2.0 or 2.01, I'm not sure it's a bug or error in my scene, anyone else have this problem?

Karba, please contact Autodesk for help. Hair is an important feature... I'm sure you will make it work soon

Is there a benchmark scene that can be tested like the gribble benchmark? I'm testing the 3dmax octane demo. Thanks.

Since it's not beta, then I expect features to work as advertised. And I also expect that I don't have to act like a beta tester anymore.

I usually start looking for other alternatives when a developer doesn't want to have an open dialog with it's customers. (same thing as with Autodesk lately.)
But Octane has so much potential.
It is none of my business if Karba has skills or not. It is his job to contact Autodesk and to get help/docs for the sdk. If other engines can do it, then it is possible. I do understand, that it is tricky and requires more effort than other features. But nobody said it has to be easy. By taking our money he took the responsibility.

If you a taking about other engines, why don't you use iRay, or VRay RT. They don't support hairs at all

This topic is about octane plugin 2.02 for 3dsmax,
not about ways of making business. Ok?

If you have some certain wishes or bug reports, go ahead.

Otherwise all offtopics may and will be deleted.

It depends on region size. If region size is too small, gpu can't split the job between cores effectively enough.

What exactly do you need?

Separate tip and root colors is not supported by octane itself, it is not plugin fault.

Regarding all other feature - it depends on how fast Autodesk will provide me with proper info. I don't have any psychic power.

I hope it is clear. To be honest, it becomes too annoying to excuses to every user and explain why it is so.

If somebody can't live without hairs, use Ornatrix or Hair Farm. This is not an advertisement. But they have provided me with perfect hair api just in a wink.

Hi

Have you installed the latest video drivers?
And what does error log say?
Can't you render only this scene, or any?
