3ds max crash with Render Elements + Scanline [SOLVED]

[caleoglesby]

I am running into an issue that has stopped me from moving forward. I am attempting to render passes with the default Scanline renderer. Why would I want to use Scanline when I have Octane? I don't know, but I just need some simple Z-passes and vector data that has always worked perfectly in the regular 3ds max Scanline mode.

My scenes can be totally empty or just a sphere, however when I open the render settings with Scanline and under the render elements tab, clicking render elements to select what passes I want to save out. This is where i get a hard crash in both 3ds max 2016 and 2017.

Autodesk has directed me here - saying that it is a crash happening due to Octane, but I am mostly just interested in knowing how I can proceed without uninstalling Octane whenever I need scanline passes. Do I need to have multiple 3ds max installs to use regular scanline rendering + render elements.

Thanks for any assistance in advance!

Hi caleoglesby,
which Octane 3dsMax plugin version are you using?

Currently using the most current version - 3.03.4-4.21, but I have rolled back a couple and they all have the same crash issue in 3ds max 2016 & 3ds max 2017.

Hi caleoglesby,
Your issue should have been fixed on 4.22
you might try downloading the 4.25 and try.
