OctaneRender® for 3ds max® v1.17[Test]

All thumbnails feel like beeing updated slower as in previous versions. I didn't use a stopwatch but feels slower.

The refreshing of the thumbnails seems slower to me also.

Karba, hope you've enjoyed holidays.
Thank you for everything.
Need some advice, please, on lighting an interior scene,(an animated walktrough)
using Octane daylight system ,one, (big Octane light)and few ies lights.
I am using Direct Light + difuse , because Path tracing proved extremely
slow and even 8000 samples with Direct Light + difuse , were still grainy.

Pmc seems to get rid of noise quicker after 1000 samples , I will give it a shot,
Does it need less samples ?
Direct light +Ambient oclusion is great but for interiors , too flat.
Any suggestion ?
