Thank you Paul for the fast response.
I have realised that Rhino only asked about material replacement because of the additional installed VRay plugin.
So that's the reason why it is not working with the Octane Plugin.
Is it possible to add the functionality into the plugin that the user can choose of following options while importing additional options with the same material names:
- Use existing
- Replace Material
- Rename Material
Otherwise you will end up with 1000 materials if you use a couple of Worksession files or Blocks.
Alternatively a script could come handy that simply merges Octane materials with the same name in Rhino.
For the second issue I am still wondering how VRay can set individual instance colors on geometry (with the parent setting in material properties).
There was another question popping up: Is it possible to import ORBX materials as Octane-Rhino Materials?
So people can setup materials in Cinema or Maya and Rhino and everybody can use them...
Thanks alot
