Hi.
Rendering OpenVDB volumetrics (from FumeFX) doesn't work anymore with "OctaneRender_for_3ds_Max_3.06_-_4.33"
Was working fine with "OctaneRender_for_3ds_Max_3.05.3_-_4.30".
No errors displayed, just rendering nothing.
Regards.

Hi cmatias,
The issue reported had already been found,
Thank you anyway for the help.

Max 2014, looks like the camera map function doesn't work on materials. Even with movable proxy off the Image applied to the object is not camera mapped in viewport (looks really distorted like wrong UV mapping)

Spherical camera seems to be broken!

Same scene and setup with two different results compared to last version. I'm on a deadline with two vitual tours. Any chance of a hotfix?

Hi mbetke,
I tested your issue, thanks for the report.
I've sent the issue to developers.
The workaround is to export your scene to Octane Stand Alone 3.06 using the attached luascript thincamera as in the screenshot.

Hi darkline,
Is reasonably correct that it does not see properly in 3dsMax viewport,
mapped camera is calculated by Octane in rendering not by 3dsMax.

For me temporary fix of this issue is to Enable "Keep upright" option in Camera Settings.

Hi
I submitted a bug a while back about OCtane not rendering Phoenix fuel . Can you, guys, fix it where we can add another modifier with volume medium and apply texture to the fuel like you did with particle modifier for mist, wetmaps, foam.

Currently we see only flames and smoke and do not see fuel and we really need to have fuel to be renderable and not just invisible. Thank you!


And also what about RGB output where you can have different color smokes in on sim? Or be able to assign different volume texture to different Phoenix Sources

Hi Paride,
I know you guys must be tired of working on the Converter, but this is the last we have found before perfection!

Paride - the xref scene material is not the problem. The problem is for objects in my local scene, which have local materials. These local objects/material get broken (grey) if the file has any xrefs turned on. Can you please give it a test.

@voltaire585
I tested the converter, but it all seems to work properly without xrefs.
Unfortunately I do not have a combo scene with xrefs and old materials to test it
Could you share your scene (in pm) please?
Regards
Paride
