Hi there,

Whenever i plug a texture in the bump channel, literally nothing happens. Why is that? I think im doing everything correctly.
Can you help me?
And another question aside of that: Is there also an Octane 3 version, that works with Houdini 17.0.352? I didnt find one... :(

Best,
Patrick

Hi,

Can you please attach the scene and the texture file that you are using? It is hard to know what could be the problem. Here this feature seems to work fine.

Currently, only the Octane 4.00 builds are going to have Houdini 17 plugin builds. The update from Octane 3 to Octane 4 is free, and the final 4.00 production build is near, so you should think about updating to Octane 4 at the same time you update your Houdini to the 17.0 version.

Thanks,
-Juanjo
