Ugh - I see.
But that's not very - intuitive .... and pretty much unusable in some cases, me thinks
(I can't calculate the vector of a sun ray on a given location and time on a globe, including the transformation of the degrees into a scale of -1...0...+1 )
That's why in 2 days time I will release a version where the Octane sun position is taken from the infinite light angle....which is very intuitive
And to add to the bug report:
When importing a figures materials with the option 'retain existing imagemaps' my setting of the sss-map get's replaced by the diffuse map of the original instead of the image in the exported setting (assuming, there was no special setting to that node before).
In this case I think the import should add the exported setting to a node unless this isn't occupied already.
I hope, I explained that understandingly...
That sounds like the way it is supposed to work. "Retain existing imagemaps" should KEEP the image maps currently plugged into the diffuse, bump and opacity pins, and NOT replace them with the diffuse/bump/opacity maps from the material being imported.
