Refractive Software® announces OctaneRender® for 3ds max®

[Rico_uk]

you absolute plum. you promised your client you would use some software that hasn't been released even in Beta yet. You idiot. You don't joke with your job? well.... you clearly do.

[face]

Come on guys!
Does it REALLY matter if it´s released today or in next weekend?
Don´t pee your pants....

it doesn't really matter....because Refractive Software is a company of hobbyists.

I need this plugin NOW because I promised to all my clients that all my renderings will be rendered with a different rendering engine and not vray.
I showed the Octane results and they told me: ok, let's start with Octane for Max.

Dear Refractive, my clients are waiting for you.

I don't joke with my job.

I think you have a wrong philosophy.
You can´t plan with things you don´t have or which aren´t 100% fix.
Especially on things like software.

When you still do it, then it´s your own risc...

O God here we go again.

Guys guys we all need to understand that Octane is a beta andwe cant depent 100% on it.

We did the same "mistake" only once and faced some problems.

Its a beta for Gods sake, take it, learn it, report its bugs and use it when its going to be stable enough for production pipelines.

Maybe refractive should make a water mark to the final rendered image octane produces so we stop get into temptation of using it for commercial projects

but again i belive that we are all big boys here and we can control ourselves.

Even if they would release it now, what guaranty do you have that it will work for your production?
It is still a beta plugin.

Hi guys,

We are wrapping things up, making sure everything works perfectly,
And making sure a complete manual comes with the first release, changing the website, shop, licensing etc...
I had flu last week so we have a bit of a delay,
We will aim for monday, in 3 days

Just be a bit patient,its nearly ready to go out...

What I don't like about Refractive is that they announced a product with precise dates of release. Refractive's philosophy is wrong too. It's better don't announce a product if isn't finished yet.
I can make investments because I want to be the first to use that product.
If Octane standalone costs 500€ probably 1st december we would have bought the plugin for (example) 300€.
I purchased a 5000€ gpu workstation to use Octane embedded in Max because Refractive announced the product, no problem to pay more for a professional product.
My clients can't wait, I can use iray or arion at the moment as alternative.

Why I'm the only person here that needs this plugin?

gabrielefx - the time that you lose waiting for a plugin, you might have already done something in octane stand alone, don´t be a lazy guy.

hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
