| Description: | Trying to test Ornatrix on Max 2017, I downloaded the demo version and launch the installer. Intallation went smoothly, but trying to render a "hello world" scene with MR I consistently got an error complaining about Ornatrix shaders not found. Digging a bot into the forums, I think I've found the fix by myself. The installars places the include and dll files under C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\NVIDIA\shaders_autoload, but Max is looking for them on C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\Plugins\NVIDIA\Shaders\shaders_autoload\mentalray. Manually copying the Ornatrix mi and dll files to the right paths has fixed the issue and now Ornatrix renders like a charm in MR. At least in my case it has worked. I am just reporting this potential deffect here just in case you want to take a look at it. |
| Steps to Reproduce: | Perform a standard installation of Max 2017. Perform a standard installation of Ornatrix 4.5.1.7927 (demo version). Create a basic scene and set the render engine to MR. Create a spehere and use Quick Hair to add a fur ball to the sphere. Try to render. The render message window opens and shows two error messages because Max cannot find the Ornatrix shaders. |

 | Thank you for the report. We are, indeed, installing into the wrong directory on 2017. We will rectify this shortly. Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) | |
