Hi Karba.
Any news for next update?

Can you put render region in next update ?

Hi Karba,

I think i found a Bug in the CAST SHADOW Feature...

Image on the Left..i selected all the elements of the character and put CAST SHADOWS OFF...the character turns REDISH!! the right image is the correct color of the character.

EDIT: In case it helps...the shader was created based on tony's skin2 shader from Live DB...i less complex one..but using some of his techniques.

I think that Karba is waiting for a stable code, I see a new release every day. Now Octane kernel lacks a lot of the 1.5 features.

I Would be realy glad if support for xref materials where added, so you dont have to merge the materials in to the scene. And allso, maybe support for closed containers. As it is now it dont work as long as the container is closed.

It is not a bug. It is expected. Light goes deeper inside due to no shadows.

Hi Karba

I noticed that if I merge Max objects into an existing Max scene Octane material names are not merged.

Example:
I have a scene with a teapot textured with a material called "wood1". No matter what are the textures used in the "wood1" material.

If I merge an object contained in another scene and this object has a material called "wood1" as soon as I open this object Max asks if I want to use the object material or use the existing scene material.
If I select "use the scene material" the Octane plugin should discard the imported material and apply the already existing wood1

If I use Vray it merges correctly the two materials and in the scene I have one material called "wood1" and not many materials called wood1, wood1, wood1, wood1, etc. (in case I merge several objects from various scenes).

Please check it.

Thanks.
