hey,octaners.

i test some bolls in 3ds max with octane.

but i didn't know why i make the different map in 3ds max,but become the same when render with octane?

a bug?or i make the wrong?

Hi,

You should describe the issue with more detail. I don't really understand what you mean, and if it's due to materials it's likely an exporter configuration issue.
There's 3ds max exporter config examples in the manual.

Hi photo...........

Not understand what you mean.looks is ok, problems Come from?

sorry!

in 3ds max ,i give every boll a different map,like this:
but when i export to octane,i just change the Material one of they,then the same they will be,like this:

thanks all!

i found the the way,is max Standard Material issues，because i use the mr Material to export.

had same problem..
Actually u have to rename each material with no spaces
e.g.: in stead of Red Ball 01 use: RedBall01
and use standard max materials..
worked for me

When that is one mesh in Max, make a mesh for every ball.
The problem with a single mesh is, that you can use only one UV-texture per mesh.
Also seperate them and then export.

Note that multi-materials work too (as long as they contain standard materials), which would allow you to have a single mesh and one UV per Material ID...

It would be great to have uv channels so a single material could contain more than one uv, which is not currently possible... perhaps an .obj limitation? haven't tried
