OTOY Forums

Hello,
I need make animation with octane.
I tested it on blender 2.49 and octane 2.2 - select binary file, project path, project name. Click Render - in octane I changed material settings - and saved it. In Blender click - render animation - and everything was OK, animation done.
But now I need area light for my project and the same procedure with octane 2.3 v5 doesnt work. I selected binary file, project path, project name, click on Render - in Octane 2.3 v5 changed material settings and saved. In blender I clicked on render animation and Octane forgot all my material settings, texture etc.
Can anybody help?

Yeah, it's a known bug, since version 2.3 the material link is broken and materials are reset when reloading a modified scene, this problem will be fixed, in the meantime the only way to avoid it is to create macro materials in Octane.
