Hello Jim,
Here is a bug report for this version.

While Octane Viewport is open....
Copying an already assigned HDRI Environment map ( under Texture environment texture) to a material slot. -> VIA DRAG&drop or by script->
Locks up Octane viewport but keeps GPU's continue working but cant see the result progress.

As you can see in the image below:
if I either copy the environment texture to material slot. PINK arrow
Or Just use my script to do that Green Arrow
Where the maxscript code is a simple one...

Code: Select all

meditMaterials[24]=EnvironmentMap

Result gives:
- Octane viewport sample counter locks at that moment.
- Octane viewport does not update if I... say, rotate the view.
- GPU's seem to continue their work.
- Octane log window does not tell anything.

I thought that problem comes from Implemented Octane textures previews in material editor. feature added in v2.3
So I tested with plugin ver 2.2 but same problem there. It must be there since v2.0..

Bug acts same in 2014 and 2016 and tested this with 2.2 & 2.6 version

Octane viewport locks and does not update. Sticks with the same sample.

oguzbir, confirm, too, have this problem. met her when setting up material with subsurface scattering.

hair & fur Modifier takin all my memory (16gb - ram) when sending for gpu.
Updated drivers.
version 2.6
renders but takes tooooooooooooooo long to do it.
I tried converting hair to geometry and gives me the same behaviour.

Then i exported STANDALONE and it was OK because didnt suck my ram and it was faster. Something's wrong here with max plugin.

thx for your patience jim , one more time.

i got problems with speed tree opacity maps the alpha opacity maps dont project shadows as correct ways.

my guess is you unchecked "alphashadow" in kernel options.

during the active viewport when you click reload on the texture - 3d max crash (2016)

[athosrojas]

alpha shadow on in new version fake shadows OK

Sorry Jim sorry guys i will be more carefull before post "bugs" , last week was hard for me . so was all my fault , just turned on the alpha shadow and all "BUGS" dissapear . and about bad navigation i see now is 3d max 2016 fault, not octane render fault

sorry JIm one more time
