Get this error while just changing a material I use for months across my scenes. Have to restart 3ds max to make Octane work again. The material is just a common glossy material. Nothing special nor a big scene.

Hi HHbomb,
thanks,
I'm investigating, it's strange, your issue changes changing blackbody power.
I will let you know.

Thanks, it look like alpha don't take in account the opacity texture and treat all the surface as a full emitter....

I get a lot of crashes of max when opening "environnement and effects" ( 8 ) in 6.09 and 6.08 especially when having a hdr map in environnement texture.

Hi Paride,

Can we somehow save compressed textures to a disk? Texture compression of large textures is pretty slow and it would be more convenient to compress them ones and then reuse that compressed file and don't wait 15 min for compression each time 3Ds Max is restarted

Cheers

Hi SergKlyosov,
compression is on the fly, I recommend saving textures to DDS textures files.

Hi Paride,

Thank you for the reply, but didn't quite understand your answer
What is DDS files? Do I need to save textures in that format from another application like Photoshop or MARI?

Hi, Paride, but I have "visible on specular unchecked" in black body...
Here is the same render with a diffuse material applied to all objects.

HI HHbomb,
sorry, I'm probably doing something wrong, caould share your scene (in pm if you want) please?

Hi HHbomb,
I think you should use black-white images in opacity slot, if you want to mask that's the way.
if instead you want to have variable emission, use the texture in texture emitter.
