Hello, I am a new octane user.

I have the following problem.
When I import a 3ds Max model as an obj export in Octane I have only two slots.
What do I have to do in 3ds Max to have more slots in Octane when I import the file?

What are the maximum number of slots in Octane?

Sorry for this general question, but it is very important for me.

Thank you in advance for your help! :)

I guess you're talking about material slots right?

if you get materials renamed something like "wire_..." and stuff you're probably not using standard materials (no vray, mr)... the obj exporter merges non-standard materials into one unique material (the "wire_" material). You have to assign standard materials for each unique material you want to assing in Octane
