Convert LiveDB Material to LW Nodes?

Seems like it would be easier to tweak the settings of a downloaded material if it were available directly in the LW Node Editor, especially when it comes to swapping out textures. Is there any way to copy those Octane nodes from the LiveDB editor into the LW Node Editor?

Hi,

Nope, sorry, this is not possible currently. There are several plugin internal architecture showstoppers (inherited from the development done in the first stages of the project related to the LightWave 9.6/10 and Octane 1.x SDKs limitations) to make this possible. At some point, I want to work in a whole new refactored internal architecture for the plugin nodes system, but the main problem is that something like that could break the support of the old scenes for sure, so well, I don't have any ETA about when something like that will be done.

Thanks,
-Juanjo
