OctaneRender® for 3ds max® v2.23.2 - 2.1 [OBSOLETE]

[mikinik]

JimStar, hi.
I understand you correctly, vertex motion blur will not work on a not constant mesh in 3ds max? in octane standalone it works, but in 3DS Max would not be, and should not wait, right?

I need the scene to take a look on what's going on in your case. I mean Max scene, not the abc file.

You better ask this in email to Otoy support address - as this is better to get the official answer about this version's Demo distribution...

Ok dumb question,

I'm always apprehensive about updating, but it's been a real long time and I think we are due.

I also have not been keeping track of every single update. Too many critical projects.

What's the difference?

in this version of plugin, a very long translation, and mesh breaks on render.

Hello Jim
Sort of a bug here...

Occasion: When cancelling a main render (not octane viewport)

Up on pressing the Cancel button,
The Current task Says Render passes rendering. and wait for serious time at hires.
If there are 5-6 render elements assigned at the render elements window. it not only lasts longer to end the render, it also doesnt render out or display the render elements calculated to that point.
It is totally understandable for not displaying the passes when cancelled. ( according our old experiences with other renderers scanline, vray, mentalray etc.)
Mind you I often render at extreme highres for print work. Say 8Kx10k renders. And it does take alot of time ending the render.

But is that really the case ? Does octane calculates the other passes along with the beauty?
So would it possible to output those passes if the render is canceled?

Even I havent got the time to investigate the issue entirely. But maybe you can solve it by looking at the code I dunno.

But I can say you this. This is tested

I make the simpliest scene with two spheres and a daylight.
Added all of the passes that mother nature gave us. to the render elements list
Render that scene at 640x800 px. And cancel the render in the middle. (max samples set a low value like 444)

When cancelled in the middle....The time with passes ON is is definitely longer than
a- if Elements Active checkbox is turned OFF
b- if all the elements (passes) are deleted from the list

That rises the question if the rendering of the passes goes along with the beauty if yes. Could those passes be displayed upon canceling the render.

If that cant be done. Then It would be great to end render quicker disregarding the passes

I did ask this yesterday to info@..... and support@.... Wonder If I get any returns.
also would it be plausible to ask to abstrax about it?

I have let to know yesterday morning that the email with this question might come, so they will answer you as soon as they will get your email.

there are problems in the passage from 1.9 to 2.1.
In the existing scene ....no materials, no maps, octane render setup have a reset and return to default

You should read the changes in the first post.
