So why is it released in the releases (production) section ? _

In my opinion this is looking for troubles,
this should have been released in the Testing (non-production) section .... here: viewforum.php?f=125

Material normals are completely broken in this version, not usable even for testing adaptive sampling. ____(except for adventurers *)




Actually I found what is the bug in the plugin:
Normal map have been modified in Octane to support other node input,(RGB inputs)
but this has not been adapted in the plugin ...
The plugin translate zero value normal map to black float !!! WRONG !!!!!
neutral normal map is PURPLE, so that's why normals are broken in every materials ....

* For adventurers it's still possible to workaround the plugin bug : plug a purple RGB (Red 0.5 Green 0.5 Blue 1) in every empty normal map inputs of every materials.
