Good evening OR team, I'd like to know if there's a way to extract the Phoenix maps or how to implement the maps in the image in 3ds Max 2027, since there's no official installer for Phoenix.

I understand there's no support for newer versions.

Does OctaneRender have any way to recreate the PhoenixFDOceanTex map? Because honestly, I only use that map for ocean rendering.

Thank you, OR team, if you could provide an answer.

Reference image attached.

Hello paride4331, you are so kind to response quickly.

I was wondering if you know whether the Phoenix plugin is available for 3ds Max 2027, as I understand it's discontinued.

And if there's any way to mimic or simulate those parameters in the OR options.

Thank you so much.

Hi Pelana001_1 ,
The file contains a scene with an ocean map texture and particles, rendered using Octane Render.

Thanks for sharing this Paris 4331 dinner; that's what I meant. The PhoenixFDOceanText map doesn't appear in the final render because I don't have the Phoenix plugin for 3ds Max 2027.

It's because the plugin has been discontinued for newer versions.

That's why I'm wondering if it's possible to recreate the realistic infinite water effect in OR. I know I can use OR's infinite plane, but the challenge lies in controlling the wind: speed, height, displacement, etc.

This image it's done with Inf. Plane and a simple material water and Noise Texture by OR in the option of Bump.

Hi Pelana001_1,
OceanTxt works fine, did you run the sim before to render?
