Octane for 3dsmax

In some situations, materials from other render engines will need to be converted into OctaneRender® materials in order to render them in OctaneRender for 3ds Max®. To accomplish this, go to the Render Setup window and click the Tools tab. Next, expand the Material Converter rollout and click the Convert All button. OctaneRender converts all object types listed in the Currently Supported window.
