OctaneRender® for 3ds max® v4.00-RC7 - 6.09 [OBSOLETE]

[justix]

Stutter and unresponsive viewport so far on this releaseI have Drivers version 399.07, should I change it?

[mbetke]

I uploaded a stripped down test-scene: http://www.pure3d.de/Brightness-Issue.zip

It contains the overbright material which looks like it should in 3.07.
Also a new set up material with same HDRI but lower exposure.

I tested with 3dsmax 2015, 2017 and 2018. They all show same issue with versions later than 3.07.

Funny side fact: In 3ds max 2015 I don't have any lags in material editor when clicking my Texture Environment slot. I got instant response from UI.

Hi Justix,
I sent this issue to developer this weekend, we are investigating to this.
I personally do not think changing Nvidia drivers solves the issue.

Cuda 201 error.
I enabled Extra Logging some time ago. Here is log. It appears a bit random and I worked for some time on the scene. Got two errors of this kind today.

Is extra logging useful or what can I do to nail things down?

Hi mbetke,
thaks, I'm testing your file, then I will send my report to developers.

Hi Why when I try to increase transmission instead of glass effect it starts glowing Thanks

my goal is red hot melted glass. ANd i thought in the uber material you can have clear and light emission at the same time

Hi coilbook,
I'm not quiet sure if universal material is the best way to, but you can have it.

Is there a documentation on this universal material? Wat is it? A material for all purposes?

Hi mbetke,
concurrently with V4 release, Otoy will update Octane manual and I will perform scenes and tutorials on the new V4 features.
Universal material is a shader allows PBR workflow.

Hi coilbook,
I think specular material works fine.

rc7 is stuck on evaluation with a lot of octane proxies or it takes 2-3 min jsut to open 0.9 gb of instanced proxies
rc6 is slow too
it seems that if you create a lot of instances as octane proxies it takes forever to load I guess it loads each proxy separately


UPDATE:
the video is attached. Instanced mesh opens in seconds, instanced proxies take forever

So how can we clone a proxy and have fast eval times?

Thanks
