OctaneRender® for 3ds max® v2.02

[boris]

come on suv you know what I mean. for me it was clear, as early adopter of gpu rendering one must live with limitations. i was frustrated from times to times, too, not having access to exactly that feature I needed at that moment. but the benefits were always obvious for me. if it's really important, you have to have a plan B.

Recent issues are related to Max SDK and not GPU programming.

I somehow would like to have you in the developer team
come on karba, you can't do everything on your own!

Guys I dont know if you missed my ealier post.
I was able to get tip and root colors driven by gradient texture. ( for max & ornatrix )
Im not sure if it works for hair&fur but there you go.

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.

Actually , I agree with Suvakas, he only explains better ,We're not Beta testers anymore, We are entitled !

You use displacement here.
You can't compare the speed.

[merid888]

well karba, you said displacement not take time to do it, but i see is another thing
maybe i don't need use this tool becouse the render is slow
thank you for comment

[Karba]

well karba, you said displacement not take time to do it

I didn't say that.
I told it doesn't take much memory.

[merid888]
