Greetings, I'm attempting to use Live Db materials to cover a larger surface in Octane and would like to scale down the pattern.. not sure how best to explain this but if trying to cover a surface with a wood pattern, it comes out looking excessively large (zoomed image) but I cannot seem to find how to reduce this effect? Say I wish to cover the floor surface with one of the wood planking available in Live Db, the boards come out looking like they are 4 feet wide instead of 4 inches wide..

Thanks in advance.

Click on the material in the plugin. Then in the lower section of the plugin window there is a button callled Scale texture maps.. Press it and a slider will appear. Decrease or increase it as you like. It will update all he scales of the textures inside that material
