Thank you for this very quick update.
And I want to ask a question ; any chance to use max' standart output map in future updates? Especially working with HDR images I really need it. I posted some example images what can an output map do without using photoshop for tweaking HDR images;

@Karba did you consider implementing Vertex Color ? it is very useful for vegetation.

Here is a nice article about this, since textures are a problem, this is a good solution. http://bertrand-benoit.com/blog/2012/10 ... tone-tree/

Working for 3 hours now. Did some tests. Not one crash and everything works as it should as far as i saw!

Great Work Karba!


The only thing i found out is, that if you have the material editor box open, the whole interface is completely slowing down. I really do not know if thats a 1.11b or a octane itself problem, but it is anyway not a big deal. As soon as i close the Material Editor its fast and responsive again!

Thanks Karba!

I´m afraid that I´m experiencing the same crashes as before with 1.11a. Randomly, when I´m reloading the scene in Octane´s viewport 3Dsmax crashes, and my scene is lost . I´m testing with two different scenes, in the first one I´m using DIRT texture, but in the second I don´t. Max is crashing in both of them. So I suppose that it has nothing to be with DIRT.

Hope this info will be useful for devs. Thank you very much for your effort.
