Yeah! Max 2013 support...thank you!

How about Kepler 600 series GPU support? I have a 650M in my new Alienware M14x laptop and I am doing a lot of traveling for the next 4 months. Would be awesome if I could render directly on my laptop. Thanks for the awesome work Karba!

What happened to the rest of Refractive? Are they helping you still or did they all disappear? What happened to Radiance?

mmmh...
I haven't installed the latest release yet.
What I can say is that the previous version crashes my Max when I close the Octane frame buffer after few seconds I've launched the render.
Example:
I launch a complex scene, it fills 2,5GB of vram about, the fb is 2500x1800, I stop it after 10 seconds, CRASH!
This issue is random.
What I noticed is that the crash happens when the gpus unload the memory. I always check the vram status with a Logitech w/display keyboard and MSI Afterburner.

Why didn't you write about it at previous version? So you still have crash with stopping render?

Yes Karba, if you want I can send you my heavy scenes. I sent 3 scenes of mine to Otoy (Abby Breukers).
You can work on this issue only if you have a system with 4 GTX580.

Yep, it would be nice.
I hope 2 GTX590 will be enough.

Nothing happened. We are just working on instancing.
There are some problem with Kepler build, It works not fast enough. We work on it.

What 3dsmax plugin version is more stable for you?
Or every version has the crash with canceling/stopping render?

Max keeps crashing even with simple scenes... exactly as gabrielefx says... when I open Octane window and try to close it after a few seconds... Not every time... but very often.
But I think one solution is to remember to press the pause button before closing the window...

Please make sure you use last (2.58e) version and all plugin files were copied to 3dsmax.
