Hi, and thanks for the great work!

I have a small comment regarding the Octane Daylight object. It seems that the "GMT Offset" setting is going the opposite way compared to the normal 3dsmax daylight system and its "Time Zone". For example to get the timezone for Central Europe I need to dial in +1 in the "Time Zone" setting, but for the octane GMT offset it needs to be set to "-1" to achieve the same sun angle.

Maybe it would be better to change it to be consistent with the normal 3dsmax daylight system?

Hi Guys, I noticed while testing settings that there seems to be a problem with the diffuse subsurface scattering. No matter what setting I use, I have no effect. For not I can substitute with the specular subsurface scatter but I think this might be a pretty big error. Let me know if there is anything else I should try. I have included the settings for the medium node in the screencapture.

Cheers

Did you try to set white transmission and black diffuse?

Ahh, That did it! Thanks Karba, I was hoping it was something like that! I don't remember having this issue with previous versions, but now that I know what I have to look out for I can work with it.

Cheers!

Please Karba,

could you fix the picker focus?

For me doesn't work anymore in all scenes

Thank you

Please Karba#2,

check in Max 2012 the viewport camera clipping because when I put an Octane camera in a scene I can't see lights and bounding boxes objects, I have to tweak the camera clipping viewport. This issue doesn't happen with standard or vray cameras, only with Octane cameras.

Also,
put a value of 1 (one) to the power of opacity mapping. The default value is set to 0.9

Also,
when I decide to apply a texture to the Diffuse mat it turns in blue before to apply the texture.

Also,
add conversion of vray2sidedMTL

Thank you

+1 for vray 2sided
+1 for vray lights conversation
+1 for having "Octane Properties" in german interface which is not fixed after 3 month and forces me to work with english interface!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris!

I will fix it.

The fokus picker works for me, as long as i use a octane camera. If i use a normal 3ds Camera, for example the standart perspective view, the picker does not work!
