OctaneRender® for 3ds max® v1.0 beta 2.56 [OBSOLETED]

[radiance]

I'm kinda dissapointed that we still can't get light to pass through glass with octane... c'mon guys when is this gonna happen? that sucks.

What kernel type do you use? Direct Lighting?
You have to use PMC for best result. And at this moment there isn't refractive caustic from sun.

sun not working!

this is a known issue since a long time, with octanerender 2.5x up to 2.56, nothing to do with the plugin product.
we will fix this in the next releases of octane and also the product (it always implements what the octane versioon in question supports)
just use a self-built area light to simulate the sun, area lights do pass through glass.

this is a sideeffect of not having bidirectional pathtracing yet, which will come in the near future,
however, we will fix this with a workaround in the next releases.

Yes. There are two standalone accounts. Maybe that's the problem.

where would you like bug reports? I can get consistent crashes trying to use an Octane viewport with 3Ds Max 2012x64 on my Win7 machine (2xGTX560) but plugin works fine as a renderer.

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

вопрос к Karba, извиняюсь за русский, но я с англ туго! ) так проще донести мысль
Я заметил конвертер Vray , было-бы замечательно! если он помимо перевода в стандарт ... переводил в реальный шейдер октана но с настройками Vray ,...цены бы ему не было. Мы все привыкли к библиотекам шейдеров к вирейке, жалко их не использовать ..а точнее выбросить в муссор )

Yes, you need a license for OctaneRender for 3DS Max. They are separate licenses.

That's clear. But today i bought a license for the max plugin.

Hello Octane staff,
you cannot rotate the hdri when you put it in the environment slot (i think because the Image texture map dont have the offset parameters) Can you implement this feature?

Best regards

It´s working very nice

Just tried a christmas tree 4mill verts(standard gray mat), very fast, I´m in heaven, time 2 figure out the rest he he.

It works excellent, Thanks Refractive-Team

But i could not find any way to use IES files. FloatImage texture cannot load any IES files.
