OTOY Forums

Any object with an Octane material on it will crash Max instantly if you try to select that object as either the master or a slave in the Reaction Manager.

Hi,

Thank you for raising this issue, so that we may look into resolving it for future releases if possible. The Reaction Manager certainly does not react well to objects with Octane Materials in it. You can still use the Reaction Manager with meshes containing Octane materials, though this will require you to assign the Octane material after completing your setup with the Reaction Manager.

In the cases of meshes that already have Octane Materials assigned, a simple workaround is to assign a default (non-Octane) material to target meshes, use the Reaction Manager, and then re-assign the Octane materials where needed. In the meantime, I will keep this forum updated as to what measures have been determined to resolve this issue.

i wanted to point out that this issues is still present,
lost almost a day times work, reimporting checking etc etc, until i came to the almost stupid assumption (well it wasnt that stupid afterall) that octane might play a role in my problem with the reaction manager



this is actually unaccetable.

when are you guys going to fix this ?

It was my understanding that the problem was fixed. It could be possible that the issue snuck back into the build at some point - I'm not 100% certain without investigating further.

Either way, the issue has been resolved, and the fix will be available in the next update.

Thank you so much azen, this makes my project alot easier from now
