I was able to resolve this by dragging the material directly into the LiveDB viewer in Cinema 4D, as opposed to right clicking in node view and saving as ORBX.

I exported a material from Cinema 4D into my LocalDB folder, and I see that it's an ORBX file in the explorer folder.

Hello all.

When using Octane 2020r3 in Houdini, I can render using path tracing, but when I change the kernel to PMC, the IPR goes black. Any idea what’s happening here?

Thanks!
