Hello fellow Octaneans!
Can some one give me some direction on an Octane 101 (maybe even Octane kindergarten) question. How on earth can I download the LiveDB so I do not have to be online to access it!?
As it's been said before kudos to the Octane/Otoy/Brigade team on such an exceptional and fun rendering solution.
Thank you in advance!

Is there anyway of having access to texture images that a LiveDB mterila uses? I use Lightwave and sometimes try to emulate a material in LW Octane. PRobles is if the material has a texture image in it, you can't acually get at it Ti import it into Lightwave. Any way round this?

Hey Gord - you are asking if any way round this. One way that I can think of would be to disable all but diffuse in material and render a plane that matches pixel dimensions of image... that is one way to get the image...

Doesn't Octane now save it into the folder where your .ocs is? I think it makes a new folder, embeded or something.
I have grabbed textures from LiveDB materials and manipulated them in photoshop

Could do that yes, incredibly convoluted for a material that has a few textures though. Good idea though. Would need to figure out how to make the lighting not mess up the image.FrankPooleFloating wrote:Hey Gord - you are asking if any way round this.

Well that would explain why I couldn't find a way to save my life lol. Could that possibly be implemented or is it not an option Otoy wishes to provide??FooZe wrote:The LiveDB was not designed to be used offline.
Thanks much for the response FooZe!!
