OctaneRender® 2026.2 for 3ds max® v26.5

Here's the scene

Hi Elvissuperstar007,
Thank you for the scene.
I tried repeating viewport rendering, closing viewport, changing some parameters, re-opening viewport, many times, but could not reproduce the crash..
What kind of editing do you usually do ? (eg material parameters ?, camera ? render settings parameters, ... ? )
I'll try to test more in a similar way as your workflow, and maybe make a script to keep those tests running for several hours..
Also, if you have several GPUs, could you try to work with only 1 for a day, and switch to another GPU on the next day ? (just in case that's a crash related to gpu / driver ..)
Thanks

Well, it didn't crash right away. I had to work with the real-time material settings, and it would work fine for 20-30 minutes and then close 3ds Max. This didn't happen with the Octane 2025 version.

Hi coilbook,
It should be something like this, more or less, and then it can be adjusted as needed.

Starting with the 2025 versions, there is a problem with VDB files. The parameters, viewport and timeline have started lagging. In version 2024, everything works smoothly.
