Hi,
Why are material slots not native octane materials every time I open a new scene? I have 3ds max 2023.3
When I hit convert slot mat they are black and now preview. And this has to be done every time a new max is opened.

Thanks

Hi coilbook,

Check in Render setup / Common / Assign Renderer:
Both Production and Material editor should be set to OctaneRender..

Somehow the lock seems to be disabled for some files, so the Material editor renderer is not set to Octane..
Thanks

@Coilbook:
I used to save myself a default.max for years now, which gets loaded with the launch of 3ds max. So you have a personal setting ready to work with as soon as 3ds max is ready.
