OctaneRender® for 3ds max® v2020.2.1 - 11.06

[coilbook]

@coilbook :
If you want to see something in octane you need to add a "Mesh" operator in your event. With "Triangle Mesh" and uncheck Render only.
If you want to render a lot of instanced objects you must : (see pict)
- add "Mesh" operator and check "render only" if there is really lot of object and it slow down max viewport.
- check "enable Particle interface" in tyflow settings.
Works very well.

Question to Paride :
When we need to use a gradient to color tyflow particle depending to its age, octane render gradient don't work, but max's plugged in a rgbImage node is working ?

Thank you!

I need to "Rebuild scene" every time I want too see Procedural texture (in this case Marble texture) "3d transformation" changes.

Thanks

Hi ramone163,
it's an SDK issue, should be solved with the next release 2020.2.2.

Second problem TYFLOW cannot be rendered in 2020.2 octane. 2019 works fine
the scene is attached

Hi coilbook,
Developers are looking for a workaround about it.

Hi Paride,
Do you know how to create a bright narrow projector light? I tried IES and regular disk lights but nothing works
And get rid of noise around the projector. We have octane atmospherics
Thanks

PS I need narrow volume light. Can a new octane version create volume lights and how?

Hi coilbook,

hahahaha ... there are some things that I avoid using, so as not to get frustrated... then I stop using.

but hey .... good to see that it was solved.

I'm waiting to use the AOV...
