Hi Karba or anyone you can answer me,

Why can't we put the Octane3dsmax.dlr in another folder than plugins ?
I mean, that if we are able to it in a subfolder we would be able to start max with various versions of Octane (using plugins.ini and the command line or .bat file)?

Thanks in advance for your answer;

You can put Octane3dsMax.dlr to to any folder you like as long as that folder is listed in plugins.ini
The problem is that for Octane to function properly octane.dat and octane.dll must be placed into 3ds Max root folder.

And I can't find a way to load octane.dll and octane.dat from different location. PATH system env variable doesn't work. Though it does work for V-Ray.

Maybe developers could shed some light on this issue ;)

It would be great to have possibility to load different octane versions using different BAT/Python files.
