OctaneRender® for 3ds max® v1.0 beta 2.56 [OBSOLETED]

[oguzbir]

Thank you all for the plugin. It is great to work directly in max

But,
Problems I saw recently are:

1- Max refuses to select ies as emisson texture
2- Can't rotate translate Environment HDR texture
3- Can't increase power of environment HDR texture
4- When I use a plane as light (Diffuse material with emission) plane lights the scene but plane isn't bright white as a light just grey. if I flip the normals of the plane than It becomes white but light the opposite direction.

and there are some problems with the textures

1,2,3 - I will add this functions with next release.
4 - Can you attach a scene?

I've been testing it during the day. Everything seems to work fine. It's just a matter of getting used to it.

However, there is some things that I feel is missing. It might be on your to-do's already but I bring them up anyway.

- A lot of the features below the render view (clay render, dof-focus picker, play/pause etc) is missing. I used them a lot. Especially the pause/play one. I only use one card on my machine so it can be a bit slow tweaking your scene.

- The control you have when loading a hdr such as power, rotation etc is all gone.

MaTtY631990, thank you for response, is the same result, i can't see the texture applied into my objects, i'm used 3ds max 2011 x64 bits, into windows xp x64
maybe the octanerender team have the solution

Can't you see it on render view, or just in 3dsmax viewport?

Karba hi,

I think I spotted the problem.
I've attached the max file..

There are 2 identical light planes. one of them is rotated 180 deg. in Z axis. to see the problem in 1 camera angle.
They give light to the (-)negative side of their normals. And they are bright on the (+) side of their normals.

to correct this you have to turn of the smooth value in diffuse material.
But anyway it always lights towards the negative of normals.

is there a release timeframe for the other problems I've mentioned (ies and HDr environment issue)
Cause these are important things to light up the scene ?

Again thank you for the great plugin..
Thanks,

[merid888]

and how i can animate the scene ? i don't see parameters to give a click and run animation
thank you

Karba,

2 things will be handy for the next release..

1- Ability to pause the render.
2- A tool button to open the OctaneRender Viewport.
I tried to solve this with a macro but I couldn't. if you can help me with the maxscript code to open the viewport.
That would be nice to.

Because not always I need to see the rendering. But opening the render from a button will be great in terms of screen space.

Thanks.
