Thanks for the response BK!
Major bummer on the not being able to export currently... wasn't the materialx announcement a few years back supposed to fix this?

Thanks again!

Hello!
I'm handing off a scene I've built in maya with orbx materials to a previz company... I'm assuming they dont use octane so hoping to export an FBX / USD / OBJ with materials maintained... is this possible? Currently when I try, all the orbx materials end up a default lambert 1.
Appreciate any ...

WOA AWESOME! Was this feature recently implemented? This makes me so happy!
My default maya viewport settings under octane render settings has the same settings in your image (which makes me think textures should have been showing already) but the textures didn't start showing in my viewport until ...

Requested this maybe 6 months ago on facebook. I think Tom said it requires Autodesk approval or something? Still feels like there should be a way around this.
To clarify, I want to see the albedo details in the standard viewport without turning 'render' on. This works with maya/arnold materials ...

YES! Why is this not standard?!

2.5 Hours later, multiple full delete/reinstalls I tried downloading maya from website rather than using the 'autodesk app' and it finally worked. Not sure if coincidence or it the autodesk app is causing some bad magic. Anyways just a heads up to anyone having similar problem.

Cheers

Octane stopped rendering this morning.
Reinstalled maya, then octane. Now can't get plugin to load:

Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2023/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 316: Unable to dynamically load : C:/Program Files/OctaneRender VRE for Maya/2023/plug-ins/OctanePlugin.mll
// The ...

Also, when rendering an image a tab briefly appears with the render aov's , other octane settings. However it disappears immediately and I can't seem to get it to stay visible to actually use it... any way I can fix this?
Thanks again!

Looks like changing those settings stoped crashes while opening orbx files. Thank you.
Bummer those settings are default.
Currently when i click on the world map with daylight environment... where i click on the map is never where the cursor actually goes. I also can't click/drag on the map to get ...

Shocked you haven't experienced this... if i have the live viewer running for a few minutes and open/close several orbx materials to edit... generally by the 6th material open I freeze/crash. Has been happening since maya 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022 and now 2023.

Is there a log somewhere I can find ...
