Rhino block .obj proxy bug

When using obj as a proxy in Rhino blocks, Octane creates corresponding materials but when you render, it is just white, although all the textures are assigned in the material. In the preview thumbnail the materials appear to be white as well.
I have attached a screenshot of the materials. Let me know if you would need the files to replicate the bug. The only workaround I came up with is to create those materials manually and replace materials that Octane created automatically, however, after a purge those materials are gone and you would have to import them again.

Octane Rhino plugin version: 3.7.0.87
Rhino: 5 SR14 64-bit

The textures are assigned (diffuse and opacity) but they are not regarded when rendered

Hi - the plugin will render all block instances with the Octane material you have assigned to the black definition. So I suspect you have assigned Magnolia_leaves to the black instance, rather than the block definition.

Hi Paul,

In fact I don't assign any materials, Octane does it automatically once I replace the block with .obj file and replicate it. I guess it picks up the textures from .mtl file but then the material is broken as shown in the screenshot and you have to manually recreate those materials.

Yes, you are right. Sorry, I misread your original question.

If you want more control over Proxy object materials, load the OBJ into Octane Standalone, tweak the materials, then save as an ORBX file, and load that as the proxy in the OctaneRender for Rhino plugin.
