Yeah it's super weird. I hope it gets addressed.

Whenever I render region in the LV, all the materials get unassigned from my objects. I just end back up with a white diffuse material assigned.

Hmm. So currently I make car shaders with a mix material between a metal and a paint. Would it look more realistic layering them as would in real life. I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around when to use a layered material over a mix.

Thank you for the replies! I was looking at the change log for 2019 and was wondering what the difference is between layered material vs blend material?

Hi, I'm a bit confused as to which Octane version I should be downloading. What is the difference between 2019.1 and 4.05? I'm using R20 C4D.

Hi,

I have a folder of HDRI's but they don't have thumbnails. Does anyone know an easy way to generate thumbnails for them? I was thinking a photoshop action?

Hi all,

I'm wondering how to get light to glow from underneath a plastic part where it would show when lit but then disappear when off? Would it have to be a SS material?

An example in the white text:

A point in the right ...

Ah I see. I wanted to mix the lighting of the two hdri's. Is there a way to work around this? Maybe a mix node?

Hi. Is it possible to use more than one hdri? I can only seem to use hdri and sky. Redshift allowed me to use multiple hdri domes.

Hi,

Is it possible to use multiple hdri's at once? I know redshift allowed me to use multiple dome lights to light the scene.

Thanks!
