Hi Jim.
When a material from local db is imported to max, some nodes are missing, and the name of material ...the same material in standalone works fine.
PD:in standalone is possible change the path for local DB...but here in max I can´t ..is Always ...users/xx/AppData/Roaming/OctaneRender/localDB..
my primary drive don't have much space for keep materials on it..

Thank you for report. Will check it. Looks like the plugin does not know about Octane noise texture so far...

As a quick workaround - you can just make the link from this place to the folder on other drive. Like this:
Create e.g. the "D:\LocalDB" folder on your big drive, remove the "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\OctaneRender\localDB" folder, and then run in Windows console:
Code: Select all
MKLINK /J "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\OctaneRender\localDB" "D:\LocalDB"

Not sure why the device tab shows 2 sets of cards in the demo version.

- Demo device issue

Yes, I've seen this before.

This is a very old bug existing in prior versions - e.g. if you have render settings opened and change the render type combobox in Max render window, you get this doubled every time... Close-open the render-settings and all is OK again...
I'll have a look at it in later versions...

Hi Jimstar,
Any chance you could make random color feature not change when file is reopened, and file is an xref?
For example we use random colors for our cars, and them xref them into our render file. Every time we render the cars change color.
Thanks

But still one more bug:
Render elements are rendering fine with octane render preview, but at render time a message appear:
I have tested many things (change image name, absolute or relative path) but without success.
Thanks
I have investigate my problem and found this:
This error only appear when 3ds max convert locals paths to relative.

Hi JimStar,
I was wondering if you could had a look at the problem with ornatrix hair thickness problem.
I'm really right in the middle of the project that involves heavy fur rendering. And using that thickness feature is must for me.
Converting the hair will terribly hard for me to render it. Or wont be able to render it at all..
If you could tell me when you have plans to investigate it, then I could find a way that I can resolve this just to sort out the project at hand.
Best,
