Refractive Software® announces OctaneRender® for 3ds max®

[gabrielefx]

simple!

my questions are:

in the video the speaker says that are necessary (in the current alpha) about 40 seconds to create, move, scale, rotate an objects in the scene, except for camera and materials.
In fact when he draws and then moves a sphere in the scene he drinks a cup of coffee...

But...
If I move the camera primitive (camera+target) in another window I will have an immediate feedback?
What happens with multiple cameras? The scene will be reloaded?
Can I rig a stereoscopic camera?

What about Max gamma?
What about output image? 32bit Open exr is supported?

Material preview is supported?

Any plan to adopt Activeshade?

Regards

If you move the camera you will have an immediate feedback.
Scene will be reloaded only if you press a reload button. If you move a camera you don't need to press reload button. It is needed only if you have geometry changes.
Octane has own gamma control. You don't need to use 3ds max gamma.
At this moment there isn't any way to get 32bit image. But it isn't hard to implement it in future.
Material preview will be supported.
We thing about Activeshade.

will it ever support the standard 3ds max maps in addition to those native to Octane? Any plans on a demo?

We plan to bake up standart maps. It is impossible to make full support of standart maps with GPU render.

thanks radiance for the clarifications, so at this time is not possible to create complex materials with the standalone plugin like mixing materials nodes and so on, right?

Hi,

Yes!,

You can create complex materials and textures in 3ds max, using max's material editor in a hierarchical way,
and using max 2012+'s nodegraph editor.
We will be posting a screenshot of octane material setup via nodes in max later today, to show it in action.

Radiance

Thanks again also for the screen shot

That seems great. Well I have the slight assumption that Softimage will be the last to be supported! (as it allways happens in other plugins)

+10 for Softimage

Can only dream about
Octane on ICE (in softimage)

This plugin is a game-changer. I cannot wait to get my hands on it. I want it now !!!

[michaelkk]

wow for this thing I was waiting for!!!
please do it for maya as well

Is it possible via some kinda SDK to make our own implementations of certain 3dsmax maps? For example, BerconMaps are open source and thus could be adapted as CUDA kernels.
