NETWORK Rendering in 3dsmax 2017
Ok, so I am running two full licenses of Octane, and with Max 2017. My version is 3.01.1 and the 3dsmax max beta plugin, 3.0.2 - 3.17
QUESTION... Why can I only network render in the stand alone version... when in 3dsmax, even though I go to NETWORK RENDERING and enable it, the other machine comes up "Invalid Version (3.1.1)"

Hi,
Thank you for reporting this issue. Max 2017 support was relatively recent, and it is possible that a minor difference between the 2017 SDK and earlier iterations has affected the network render feature. This should only be a minor issue, which should be fixed in the next release.
I will attempt to duplicate the issue. If I am unable to, I will ask you some follow-up questions.
Cheers,
Azen

Any update on this ? DId you at least manage to replicate this problem in the 3.02 - 3.17 plugin ?

Ok I just realized something OBVIOUS to my problem. Why is the standalone download version only 3.01.1, and yet the 3dsmax plugin is calling for 3.02 !!!
That would totally explain the error (invalid version 3.1.1) I need to have the two match !! Either download 3.02 stand alone which is not available for download in my download section, or I need to run a plugin that is 3.01 based !
Please advise.

Ok I have found the 3.02 standalone.... I guess you guys have updated it and not updated the downloads section officially.

Hi,
I will look to get the download section updated on the site. Mixing versions hasn't been a use case that I have tested yet. Please confirm whether the issue was resolved.

YES RESOLVED !! Great to know. I was using a 3dsmax plugin, MORE advanced than the base stand alone version. That was the problem. I didn't catch that there was a 3.02 standalone.
