Hi,I want buy Octane,buy the website says me that i can choose tre different octane(standard,for 3dsmax,or maya)
http://render.otoy.com/shop/

I model mostly with rhino, but I can import models into 3dsmax if it Octane for 3dsmax is better...

thanks!

Hi Federico,

It depends on what kind of workflow you are looking for.
For the standalone you will need to export your scene from rhino as an obj/mtl file and then import into the standalone (or use the free exporter plugin for rhino to do this for you). This free exporter is developed by a community member and any support you will get for this would come from them.

For the 3ds max integrated plugin this provides a live viewport in 3ds max which makes working on your scene a lot more fluid as geometry changes are automatically updated and you don't need to go through an exporter and into the standalone. In my opinion this is the way to go if you have max and are familiar with it. Animations are also a lot quicker to work with and render too.

Just note that to run the 3ds max integrated plugin you require an activated standalone license on the machine too. You can purchase both at the same time for a discount (look for the 3ds max + standalone combo).

Cheers
Chris.

I've now bought Octane standard, how long does it take to receive mail? ... And receive mail at the account site octane?, Or the address for pay pal?

Hi Federico,

Your purchase has been processed a little while ago.
You should have received the email to the paypal address. Let me know if you have any problems.

Cheers
Chris.
