OTOY Forums

Hi,

I'm developing a script, in which I need to set some render settings (namely the max samples). Problem is I don't have a NVidia gpu, so I can't get octane running in my 3ds max, and I couldn't find any maxscript documentation for it.
Can anyone tell me what property to I need to set to get this done, or better yet, point me to the octane maxscript docs.

Thanks,

You need NVidia GPU only to do the rendering.
But you can use the MaxScript with the demo plugin to access the Octane plugin's MaxScript properties.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately, that's not the case. I get an error message when 3ds max starts saying that Octane3dsmax.dlr failed to initialized, with an error code 126: The specified module could not be found. Then, of course, the Octane plugin is not loaded, which means I can't use it at all. Not even just for scripting.

Could it be that I'm missing something else and not the CUDA drivers?

Thanks,

Of course Octane plugin needs CUDA library dlls. You need the driver installed...

Thanks, that's what I thought.

Which brings me back to my original post:
Can anyone tell me which property do I need to set (using maxscript) to set the max samples value, or better yet, point me to the octane maxscript docs?
