Post here Octane for Max bugs and wish list

[be_fast]

Very very important - please ad possibility to render fly through. Right now I didn`t found any option too keep same geometry each next time. I mean right now octane refreshing geometry from the scene each frame - which is necessary for all animations. But not for the fly through! I have 4kk polys and updating them each frame taking more time then actual rendering, meanwhile I don`t need it to be updated - it`s the same along all my camera flying. The perfect solution is making all that voxelization stuff superfast, but I believe that is very complicated task. Please add this option to make fly-through animations rendering same fast with plugin as it is in the stand alone octane.

I hope you clearly understand me. Tnx!

Matte Material for compositing. Is this possible using existing materials?

Can this be added to the wishlist?

added--->Render Passes

my wish list to be implemented needs two or three years of work.

Crash Report.

3ds Max Design 2012
Octane Plugin 2.56b
Win7 64 bit
16gb ram
GTX460 Graphics Driver Version 285.62
Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet 6.1.6-7
3d Connexion Space Pilot Pro 3.3.107.0

Create box in 3ds Max Design
Create Octane Camera
Select Camera
Right Click - select set view to camera

Total Crash of 3ds Max Design - saves a recovery file - recovery file will open to the point of re orientating the view to the camera where it crashes again.

This is the same crash as previously reported, although there is a noticeable difference in the time it take to crash from the original plugi (almost instantaneous) to thw 2.56b version - now take 3 or 4 seconds before crashing

Any advice?

Having upgraded to current 2.57 version, and the Spacepilot pro connected, I am still experiencing the same right click - set octane camera - crash as previously described on page 3 of this thread.

I will disconnect the Spacepilot pro and retest.

There is a problem in max when I want to type roughness < 0.001 it is going to 0 оr to 0.001 - but is no good for several materials (metall or smth)
It is possible to fix it and make roughness between 100 - 0 ?

I mean something to read that you can change the precision of the input field from 3 to 5 digits.
