OctaneRender® for 3ds max® v3.06.4 - 4.40 [OBSOLETE]

[darkline]

Hi

In this new version, if I have an alpha channel and choose to use a backplate (use viewport background), it displays fine when I first open the octane viewport; however if I lock the camera and change viewports then the background dissapears and only displays the checkered alpha. I have to close the octane viewport and re-open to get my background image back again.

Max 2014 here.

Hi darkline,
I do not think 4.40 has background problems in 3dsmax 2014, or I did not understand the issue.
Attached to a video clip. Is this correct?

Hi paride4331, something has cleared up on my problem? In new 3.06.4 - 4.41 version same, does not work.

Hi miknik,
I did the tests again, I create a new .abc, personally I think there is something wrong around the .abc you made;
maybe some issues about normals or exporting you made.
Attached a test created with phoenix, it works fine.

Hi Paride,

might aswell test the new version and I'll report back next week.

another thing ive noticed is the render re-starts when switching from the beauty pass to noise pass in the octane viewer. Very annoying when you're trying to flick between the two to assess acceptable noise levels.

Hi darkline,
testing 4.41 in 3ds Max 2014-2018 I did not find any issues about this.
the samples do not resumes witching from beauty to noise and vice versa.
Let me hear from you.
