sure a bug: when rendering perspective view - no camera, what is shown in render doesn't match the rendered view in max.

I tried clear volume and homogeneous volume.
I added clear volume as fog, playng with the setting delivers always same density.
I added the homogeneous volume to a mesh, followed the blender tutorial from dravia, i didn't notice any change in my renders.
may you share a showcase scene.

Light material, playing with the gain and efficency won't affect lighting in the render.

btw, i can't really test maxtolux since instances aren't supported, i have large scenes with lots of instances, if i hit render now MaxtoLux abort render before running out of ram.

Thank you

A very vague rule of thumb is: 10,000,000 of triangles for 1 GB of GPU ram.

Othe part i need to check first.

Of course, I'll try to implement instance objects very soon but till then you need to be a little bit patient.
