We're quite often in a situation where we need to convert many Standard C4D Materials to Octane ones.
We've already made a script which will do a lot of steps for us such as optimizing the models or adding their materials into corresponding layers, but when it comes to automatically converting all the native C4D materials to Octane ones we are struggling to automate this step.
FULL SCRIPT HERE - It's for automatic setup of 3D exported World of Warcraft characters:
