Hi Paul, thanks for the quick reply.
I had skipped the last couple of releases, and switched from 14.2.

It's good to know I could roll-back to 15.1; I will give it a try.

What is the best way to save octane material presets in modo 15.2?

It seems that the new changes to the presets in modo have made the process more complicated.
When I try to save as a material preset, modo creates a new assembly which also contains the octane override.

To be more specific, before ...

thanks Paul, much appreciated.
I will send you a couple of our materials setups that we use.

My strategy for reference scenes in MODO is don't use reference scenes. There's no small shortage of issues that can blow your project up if you rely on them.

It works fine as long as you add a material preset (with or without an Octane override).
However as soon as I save and re-open a file, it does not work anymore.

I am attaching some ...

I am bumping this one again.

It would be great if we could have this option.
Do you think this would be possible?
thanks ,

I have tried this in modo 14.1 and 14.01


I can create a material preset, and assign a material with an Octane override to it.

It works fine, I can change the linked preset while the file is open.


As soon as I re-open the file, it tells me there is an error, it cannot create the override, and ...

I have one more request:
would it be possible for Octane to render modo proxies directly as well?

I have two requests regarding the use of proxies in modo. See attached image

To make it work together with modo proxies, I am having to add an empty mesh as a container for the Octane Proxy.

Request 1: Can you add the Proxy Filename link also to the modo proxy objects? Is this possible?
this would ...
