Fixed Glow channel so that ‘None’ clears the Octane Emission pin.
Fixed Transparency channel to ignore the Color channel when setting the Octane Transmission pin (it now only uses the transparency shader for color/texture). The Color Channel should be applied as a material mix, but for now, it is ignored.
Changes in 2.06.0051
Duplicates as Instances. Duplicates of objects are now treated as instances within the plugin. Instances can have different shaders but cannot have modifiers that change the mesh (such as Twist or Explode). If an instance has a modifier it will be treated as a separate object.
Improved Layers List support. Some shaders that contain projection-mapping shaders were rendering as clay. This has now been fixed.
