The Octane Render viewport in 3ds Max doesn't seem to give me the right resolution when rendering. I wonder if this is a feature since the viewport can be scaled and its resolution changed as I scale it. I do get the right resolution (the one I set in 3ds Max render settings) when I hit "render" in 3ds Max, but that way I lose the interactivity of the Octane Render viewport. I'm using an Octane camera in my 3ds Max scene. In Octane Standalone, I can use the preview resolution to set the correct resolution for the camera, however I haven't been able to find such a menu anywhere in the 3ds Max plugin. Probably a silly question but I hope you guys can give me a hand with this!

I will try to do some thing with it.

Thanks Karba, let me know if you find a fix to this. As a long time Max user, it would seem intuitive if the render viewport would behave as when rendering with Vray or Mental Ray, i.e. when scaled (or should I say resized) it retains the proportions and resolution of the rendered image. It could also allow for zooming in and out as with Vray or Mental Ray to accommodate for very large resolutions.

Ok, now it looks like this. What for a new release

Seems you are the only one who is working at the moment at Refractive Soft Karba.
Nice to see a "Standard Material" convert on the upper left in the shot!

Incredible progress. Look forward to the next release.

All right!
I see vrayblend and vraylights made it in there too! Fantastic!
Now I wonder, would there be any chance for vraydirt?



I can wish can't I?

Octane engine doesn't support such things, so I can't implement it.

I understand, although it would be cool wouldn't it?

Currently it's required to dedicate an untileable 2048x2048 texture that combines concrete and some darker areas near the corners of a wall that needs to be UVW unwrapped, very much like game texturing.

If that "blend based on angle" were possible you could use 2 textures that were tileable on all objects with simple UVW box mapping. Less textures, less vram, less work to unwrap everything.


Anyway keep up the good work!

Maybe I'm late, but I really liked the old version of scaling resolution together with the window. In that way I can quickly change the quality of preview.
Is it possible to have that back as an option?
