Buying Octane to 3ds max.??

[3dvizual]

Hi

I have just bought the plugin for 3ds max. They write that I haft to have a regular version of octane for windows installed on the computer to get the plugin to work.

Is this correct, or not necessary anymore.?

I have only bought the plugin for 99€. Do I haft to buy the standalone version to windows also for 99€.?

Hi, yes you need both Octane standalone and the plugin.
There is a discount deal of 179 euro for purchasing them together atm see http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... =7&t=11281
If you didn't understand this requirement at the time I suggest you send Refractive an email now and they will probably be able to assist you with buying the stand alone as well for the right total price.
I think the contact address for this is: sales at refractivesoftware dot com
The Refractive office is open NZ daytime so there might be a delay before they reply.

OK. Thanks.

I didn't read it properly, when I bought the program.

...same problem with me yesterday

today i've sent a message to the support of refractive asking if it is possible to turn my 3Ds license to a Stand Alone licence and the i'll buy the 3Ds Licence Plugin... hope that all goes ok!

Last update with "update geometry" option definitely worth its price. You could save some money with buying both StandAlone and OctForMax at once. I did not cos I decided to try stand alone firstly. But it worth more then its price so I am still happy. Very nice feeling to be licensed octane user by the way!

Well, now I don't feel so alone buying the wrong thing. Already sent an email and hopefully it can be sorted out. In my case I'm not even a 3DS user!

Worst case it's a lesson to really pay attention to every stage of buying something - even though I'm sure I pressed on the buy button for the renderer itself!
