This is a new topic for user or developer scripts. Please don't hesitate to contribute.

This is a special script. It includes an example scene and description. See attached image.
Also this is very good example to show how you can create, connect and modify Octane materials and images.

I don't suppose you have a script that will export .orbx (single frame) files? I am trying to export from cinema4d via command line in windows, and then render the orbx file in stand alone on our linux farm.

You can export from Live Viewer and commandline. Did you tried this? https://docs.otoy.com/Cinema_4D_Plugin_ ... %7C_____27

That should work for me, thanks!

Aoktar would there be a way of creating a script which automatically loads in PBR image textures to the PBR template material, based on a specified prefix within a folder?

This is a task I have to repeat again and again and for large scenes with many objects it's a huge task.

Example would be that I have a folder consisting of textures from Substance painter/Quixel or whatever package:

Folder:
chair_COLOR.jpeg
chair_NORMAL.jpeg
chair_SPECULAR.jpeg
chair_ROUGHNESS.jpeg

It creates a material based on the pbr template and grabs every map based on prefix and puts it in the corresponding slot within the pbr material shader from the LiveDB.

I think I could create something like this with the Cinema4D python SDK, but I'm not sure how to generate Octane materials via Python? I've little to no experience with Python, but knowledge and experience with other coding languages so I understand how this could potentially work by passing over variables from a user input.
