A. Operating System Win10 pro
B. Graphics Card(s) GTX780 x2
C. RAM Capacity 6GB x2
D. Nvidia driver version 372.90
E. OctaneRender Standalone version, if installed 3.03.4

Hello! I started testing the automatic material conversion that came with 4.18, and found a issue:
Every object's octane property(especially those proxy sources) is not converted as it was, and all value were set to empty.
the max scene was made by max 2013 + OctaneRender for 3ds Max 2.23.2 - 1.9
i think these properties should be converted too.

Some bitmap disappeared too, but I don't know how original materials were made. Need investigation.

Hi, akira
I verified and reproduced the issue you had.
I encountered the issue you had in Version 2.23.2 - 1.9
but not with the latest stable version 2.225 - 2.22
I also had the same issue when I open a 2.23.2 - 1.9 file
with the latest stable version 2.225 - 2.22.
I think the issue you had is caused by the 2.23.2 version - 1.9 and not by 3.03.4 - 4:18
can you confirm this through a test please?
Regards

Hi
I heard that 4.18 can convert old 2.23.2 - 1.9 materials internally without those 2-stage converter scripts.
So i installed 4.18 and try to open max scenes made by 2.23.2 - 1.9 and this issue happened.

Hi Akira,
Thanks for the feedback.
This issue is now fixed in the new 4.19 release.
Go to the 'Tools' tab fist, activate the conversion system and restart max to have the converter enabled.
Let us know if you have other issues.
Thanks,

Thank you for fixing this so quickly! It works like a charm now.

But Max will crash if you try to open a 2.23.2-1.9 scene without activating the converter in tools tab first.

Hi Akira,
I tried to reproduce your issue, but I have not encountered any crash.
Could you share, even privately, a scene makes the same mistake?
thanks for your time.
