no news about hair and fur yet?
with ''geometry mode'' it still doesn't render..

if you're in Max 2014 the same trick still works. Switch to Scanline and render 1 frame. Now switch back to Octane and hair and fur will render in 'geo' mode for the entire max session and respect all parameters/animation

Karba can you please fix this so we don't have to do the workaround to render fur?

damn - why didn't I see this earlier - I was doing some hair renders and converted to mesh - memory killswitch -
- I tried using the PArray to scatter the grass - and it's working pretty nicely - apart from the fact you have to show all of the particles in the viewport if you want to show it in the render window - and it seems to make copies - not clones - or am I doing something wrong there - the base mesh is movable proxy - and it should make instances with the same tag? - the memory usage suggests it is doing copies .. any tips there? You get good scattering with PArray, pretty much most all of the settings you need is there

Problem starting MAX Design 2012 x64.
There's something wrong with my menu file and I can't start MAX... Although I haven't used MAX for almost 10 days, I think there was nothing wrong with it... I just installed (copied the files) Octane 1.17 for MAX and I wonder if there is a connection...

So, since nobody answered... I guess I have to re-install Max?
Is it possible to have a default mnu file from someone? Is it possible to just replace the menu file and re-install Forestpack, Maxwell and Octane? It would be easier I think...

I think the problem lies in that Max may well use instances within the Parray, but that's not the same as each object being an octane movable proxy. I don't think it supports it.

if you want to do that, forest pack pro (free) or multi-scatter are the best as they do work with octane instances

Alternatively using 'Geometry' on hair and fur will still convert to mesh at render time and be a big hit on memory, but the advantage being it'll retain any animation/interaction with the scene which you wouldn't get if you converted it into a mesh with the tools.

I updated octane on my max14 to 1.17 yesterday, i tested it out and it was rendering just fine..
today i find that octane has been de-activated, i try to activate its constantly saying that cannot connect to server .

But Octane standalone (1.10) is still activated. might it be a problem with my connection or with 1.17?

I deactivacted the license thru my account, it was deactivated..i waited more than 1 hour and tried to re-activate in max11 octane ve 1.13... it activated, but when i wanted to use 1.17 in my max14 installation it said de-activated again! , i went to DE-activate thru my account, it did..now im still waiting for another hour to pass.
