OTOY Forums

I am running into an issue that has stopped me from moving forward. I am attempting to render passes with the default Scanline renderer. Why would I want to use Scanline when I have Octane? I don't know, but I just need some simple Z-passes and vector data that has always worked perfectly in the regular 3ds max Scanline mode.

My scenes can be totally empty or just a sphere, however when I open the render settings with Scanline and under the render elements tab, clicking render elements to select what passes I want to save out. This is where i get a hard crash in both 3ds max 2016 and 2017.

Autodesk has directed me here - saying that it is a crash happening due to Octane, but I am mostly just interested in knowing how I can proceed without uninstalling Octane whenever I need scanline passes. Do I need to have multiple 3ds max installs to use regular scanline rendering + render elements.

Thanks for any assistance in advance!

Hi caleoglesby,
which Octane 3dsMax plugin version are you using?

Currently using the most current version - 3.03.4-4.21, but I have rolled back a couple and they all have the same crash issue in 3ds max 2016 & 3ds max 2017.

Had similar in issues way back in v2 so its an old bug

Hi caleoglesby,
Your issue should have been fixed on 4.22
you might try downloading the 4.25 and try.
