What do you mean?
I know only one Arch&Desing material.

Work in progress...

I am apparently going to have to reassign all materials in my scene and replace them with Octane natives, because of this. This is a very problematic. Anyone have any advice?

I have found the reason of this crash.

I am impressed by your diligence. I would be very interested to hear what you discovered was the cause of the crash.

This is just my mistake in plugin development.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying there is a bug in the plugin. Is there a way for me to work around it while waiting for the next version of the plugin to be released?

Live db very exciting !!! Cant wait to build my own offline materials off of them ..thx a million karba!

Bug is with standart 3dsmax checker texture.

I tried to remove all references to that texture, but I still have the problem. How do I make sure I am not missing other references to it?

If all references are removed, the material conversion process will work?

Again, thank you for helping me get to the bottom of this.

It inspires faith in where the company can be expected to go in the long-term, which is important, because I am having to learn new skills which represent an investment in your product.

I am going to make a new release next week. I hope that will help you.
