Hello,

short question: is rebuilding a c4d material with alpha in the transparency channel the only way of getting the alpha to show up in octane live viewer?

Thank you!

It's an easy enough scene with plants - but with loads of different leafs with c4d materials and therefore alot of alphas, that somehow are not recognised by octane.
I just made new octane materials for them, I was only curious if there might be a workaround so octane takes the alpha even from the c4d material.

it can recognise alphas of c4d materials. But there is some exceptions, if images have not alpha channel or tweaked the some parameters of alpha section.
