OctaneRender® for 3ds max® v2.20

[wastzzz]

Nope, I can't get it to use the correct Antialiasing size.

Regarding Vray scene conversion don't forget: Vray sun, Vray ies lights, materials with the correct procedural Max textures.
Please implement Max gradient conversion.

And color correction if possible.

Thank you!

We still dont get any dof or motion blur in elements, or have I missed something?

hello Karba
Regarding Vray scene conversion it would be cool to have a "no action node" to replace vray "tint" for example (and all node octane don't convert).
So the bitmap would be converted to RGB_image. The final render would be different but we could replace the "no action node" by something we want.
It is a pain to replace bitmap by RGB_images, sometimes connection wires are very crazy !
Perhaps as an option.

Hi Karba

here is what I have in the Log => render freeze until log is full (5000 lines)


Tried to access null node pin
Can't read bool from static pin 'unknown' (P_UNKNOWN, type PT_UNKNOWN) of node '' (NT_UNKNOWN, 0000000044C2A080)
Tried to access pin via an invalid ID P_UNKNOWN (0)

2.16 is ok.

Is seems with 2.20 you can no longer save the sky and have the sky alpha also saved? Is that the case?

Hi Karba

Just a question I have for months about a very annoying behaviour.
Why does a glossy material react this way when the diffuse color is not black ?
I don't mean it's a bug but I would like to understand this effect and maybe counteract it.



Thanks in advance for your answer

this is normal. This is a physical behavior. Diffuse and specular can't have the same rgb value.

So I have to keep the diffuse channel black and mix the glossy material with a diffuse one.
