3DS Max 2011 and Octane 2.2 were used. Each picture was obtained through blending a daylight pass and a texture/HDRI pass in Photoshop to get rid of the fireflies.

Tried the pre 2.3 Octane but encountered the known already problems.
Approximate time for 3200x1920 daylight passes was 90 minutes.
Approximate time for 3200x1920 HDRI passes was 150 minutes.
Cheers.
