OctaneRender for Carrara 2.14.0058 [Test]

I had the same thought, but seeing as I deleted the scene I didn't bother to post about it, would be nice to know though

Sorry if this sounds obvious but can you not just undo?

I thought of that after I posted, but main system is offline so couldn't go and test, also to be honest I didn't think it would work as its within Octane and not Carrara, as in, it's in the Octane window and was not sure if Carrara would keep track of those operations, I will test in the morning

I have verified this issue and I'm afraid a change applied through the Octane Viewport does not get registered with Carrara's undo system. It might be best to use Carrara to apply the downloaded materials until I can get this resolved.

A new release has been posted here.

And no, undo for materials applied from the Octane Viewport has not been fixed yet.

OK the noob here
on the download version I could save the live DB textures or rather some of them (706 were listed but not named) to my browser
this one has a preview and apply but clicking that does not seem to apply to selected items or am I missing something?

click on the shader in the LiveDB, then in the Octane render window you will see that when you mouse over it, the icon changes to what looks like a pen (to me it looks like a pen), click on the item you want to add the shader to and it will get applied

ah sort of like DAZ plugin so only in Octane not in Carrara, yes if cannot undo this could be a problem
save often then.

Undo will work if you 'apply' the material from within Carrara. To do that, first download the material you want to apply. The material will be added to your scene as a Master Shader. From within Carrara's Assembly Room select the Shaders tab. You will see the downloaded material there. You can then drag that shader onto your object with full undo support.
