This last setup by ed_mciver doesn't do the trick for me - works for anyone else?

Thanks

Whats the best way to do this in 2018 (Octane v3). Tried the Octance Image Texture with JPEG sequence, range set from 0-160 (I have 160 frames) but it never plays from the first frame, always from 25 odd frames in???

Thanks,

Hi,

I've got cloners doing what I want but it's way more geo then I want to be pumping through my pipeline so can anyone see if I'm missing something in getting scatter to do what the cloners seem to be able to do?

Essentially I've got a 'system' built that puts spheres on a cube (effected by ...

Make sure there's an Octane tag on your camera.

Under 'Camera Imager' be sure to enable it and 'tick neutral response'

Thanks Aoktar, I do appreciate the help. When I get a moment I'll prepare a bare bones project file showing my problem and perhaps when you see the issue that I get then we will further align on understanding of the challenge that I'm struggling with and what I'm missing.

At current, I understand ...

Okay, in the event of anyone needing a mix material base then my method of creating a very large texture with many pixels worth of empty space around the logo (as a buffer) is a successful workaround to the tiling problem.

Is there no other way to do die-cut decals (via alpha layer) on top of a ...

Actually, another thing.

I can't get that decal approach to work with a mix material?

Am I doing something wrong?

Please see the attached project file.

Finally got it!

Thank you all for helping out.

Thanks Aoktar, I'm really trying to follow but I'm missing something. Please see my variation of your 'Stacking' file, there must be something that I'm not understanding.

My image has an alpha channel and is loaded into the opacity channel exactly where yours was.

We'll get there!

I swapped one of the images used in your sample file (opacity channel) with a coloured logo and my render was showing simply the silhouette of the logo shape stuck on the cylinder, all white, no colour or visual detail. ie it was just a white sticker.
