What about us that have been conned by Octane Power tools Radiance?

I cant find an option for 50% off discount as you stated before.

totally awesome, great xmas gift! I've been playing around with teapots, great fun. When I have a little more time I'll try some older scenes.

Same here. GTX240M (VERDE R285 DRIVER v285.79), 3ds max 2012 x64 & 3ds max 2011 x64 on Win7 SP1 german, Octane Standalone v2.55b.

Opening the Octane viewport as a seperate window (from the render settings dialog) works. But it crashes max when you rightclick inside this Octane viewport.

it works great!!!...

except for the Max framebuffer that doesn't save 16 or 32 bit exr files.
Hdr file format saves a black framebuffer.
How to save untoned or toned exr/hdr sequence of images?

Next improvements:

1) conversion of vray sun and vraysky
2) vray rectangular/spherical/dome/mesh lights should be converted in blackbody mesh light emitters
3) top-front-left-right-bottom should not affect the camera render because if I lock the framebuffer and then I want to change the sun position I will not have a feedback
4) Max colorcorrection should be converted or deleted
5) textures and objects limit should be unlimited
6) progress loading indicator during max to octane geometry conversion is needed or you can use the status bar to apply a %
7) vraylight material should be converted too
8) deleting or rearranging textures from slots don't always update the render, adding a new texture node the last texture is loaded
9) Pause - Resume should work?


For the sun i always mix a specular material + skyportal....et voilà

5) textures and objects limit should be unlimited

Texture limit is set from cuda...

Is the ability to set scattering direction in this build ? Following the http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... ngs#p70419 guidelines there, I can't find the forward/back scattering direction
