Greeting Paul and Revit Octane Users,
Octane is a beautiful engine BUT
Could you please tell me why Octane material does not work "out of the box" ?
I have this Revit 2019 project for everyone to play with - the material has been set up using Revit's material editor.
It is a requirement that all materials have to start by setting up through Revit's material editor, because we can then output textured elevations drawing, hatch etc.
You can download it here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing
When you first open the file you will end up with missing textures everywhere.
You do not need to re-path the textures manually, all you need to do is tell Revit where those textures are located, by going to Options --> Rendering --> Add links. I have included all textures for you to test as well. The catch is Revit cannot read Sub-folders so all textures have to be sitting inside 1 folder.
Once you have added the path all materials in the folder will be re-pathed automatically.
Now, since I also use Enscape. All I need to do is go to a 3D view (3D Ortho view is also okay!) and press "Start Enscape" - that's what we will see out of the box with no settings required:
As for Octane - I have to start from 3D Perspective view...that's okay.
I then tried to Re-convert all materials to Octane material.
Finally I hit Open Viewport, and that's what I get:
Then the viewport opened, and I get 1 more error:
and that's what I see:
Could you please tell me what has gone wrong?
Paul, could you also make the plugin work using Revit's material editor similar to Enscape's 1 click solution???
Thanks.
