The outputs may need to be connected to something before grouping the nodes? Not sure if this is the only way, but when I group stuff (e.g. just some RGB spectrum nodes) that already flows into the material, then the output pins do show up on the "NodeGraph" node with the connection still in place ...

Aaah, that's smart - I keep forgetting that Object Tag subdivision is a thing. Thank you for the explanation and the setup! : )

Dropdown windows in Cinema 4D 2025.3.1 like File, Edit, Create, Modes, etc. autoclose after a few seconds. This problem goes away when I uninstall the newest Octane version. Anyone else has this problem?

Hmmm, not this time but it does happen for me once in a while (dropdown ...

Hey Chris! Thank you - that makes sense and is good news!

One other issue I came across today - the new Rest Position feature seems to have some limitations once Subdivision Surfaces are involved?

- If the mesh is a child of an SDS and the Rest Position tag is enabled, the mesh does not render for ...

Yup yup, I still have both installed - thank you for looking into it! : )

Hey, I was testing whether the current Octane plugin already works with yesterday's new c4d release - one issue I stumbled on is that mouse wheel zooming within the Octane node editor doesn't work for me on C4D 2025.3.0 and Octane Plugin 2025.2 - v1.5.1. Mouse Wheel Panning works and so does ...

Ah, perfect! (And thanks for adding the zip for now, Chris!)

Hey, I'd like to second the request for a zip file. I'm using an external plugin folder - and in our studio that folder is even on a network drive (otherwise, Octane would need to be updated on each workstation one by one).

Alternatively, if the installer would allow users to freely define an ...

Hmmm, speaking of the Node Editor - is the "Save as preset" option in the right-click context menu working, currently?

It sounds extremely useful (e.g. creating a noise library with specific settings, configuring the "comments" node once and then reusing it,...), but I'm not sure where the presets ...
