It's more about the Color Shader node not randomising the colour once the Cloner is put under the Cloth Generator, rather than a subdivision issue.
Somewhat resolved the problem by using a Tube object, with an Octane Object Tag for the subdivision. The sim runs slower, which is a pain, but it gets ...

Thanks guys.
#jayroth2020 The Cloth generator is also providing thickness to the geometry, which the Octane Object tag doesn't provide.
#beppe The disc has a non-zero internal diameter, so the geometry is all quads already. Unless C4D is doing something internally that isn't displayed.

Thanks Beppe.
It works, but sadly doesn't let you alter the Cloth subdivision after the sym is cached. Oh well.

Windows 11 Folds.zip Hi
Don't know if this is a bug or user error, but the Cloth Surface generator doesn't respect the Color Shader I've applied to the child Cloner object.
I was trying to create the windows 11 background using a cloner and some cloth discs, but the shader doesn't work with the ...

There seems to be an intermittent problem with Octane and the Coordinate Manager.

C4D wouldn't let me type in values into the Coordinate Manager. After I deleted the two octane textures I had in the new scene (no other Octane objects, lights or materials) it all worked fine. I then brought back the ...

Thanks Beppe and of course Pascal (calus).

Does anyone have a solution to camera projecting a texture onto some geometry?

I've tried all the OSL projection shaders and I can't get them to work unless I key in some very odd and seemingly arbitrary numbers to scale, offset and rotate the image.

Is there the same convenient way as the C4D ...

Thanks, giolets. I'll give that a go after I've finished the latest job.

Before I go through the long slog of testing which driver works, does anyone have any advice as to which nvidia driver I should install with a system that uses both a 980 ti and a 1080 ti?

The suggestion is to use a Studio driver later than 450.xx, but the 980 ti doesn't have any Studio drivers ...

I'm not arguing against a lumens-based UI, but that is not what we have today. I am trying to help you get to where you want to go with this using the existing toolset as it is.

Fully appreciate your help.

So far bepeg4D's work-around seems to do the trick, ie put the required lumens value in ...
