Plugin wish / question

[JJTTBB]

Will we ever see an Octane material inside Max?
A dialog where we can create a complete Octane scene and save it with the materials.
I use Maxwell and it is very convinient... Now we have to use standard mats yes? Well this doesn't help
much for architecture since models from Acad or ADT or Revit use autodesk arch or promaterials.
So, since we have to change the materials, there should become octane mats...

Only when the Octane ocs-format is open, otherwise it makes no sense...

Sorry, don't understand... Open?

The ocs is the Octane scene file. In that stores Octane the materials.
If that is not open and refractive change it with every update, it will make massive work to update the plugins...

Well it is of course possible by passing the material info to the obj mtl file.
Blessod made some scripts that do this.

I'll see what radiance has to say about it.

Right, but not all parameters are possible.
e.g. the filmthings and maybe bumpmaps.
