Hey, so it's my understanding you can make materials in Octane, save them as ORBX, and then import those into C4D or other such applications that have the Octane plugin and use those materials there.

My problem is that when I click 'Save as' in Octane Standalone, there is only the .ocs format option.

What am I missing? I don't see an 'Export ORBX' button anywhere in Standalone but I've seen other people on here and on Reddit who mention being able to do this very thing.
Is there a setting somewhere you have to engage in order for this option to be present? Did I misinterpret the posts of other users on other forums?

I feel like an idiot because I know this should be a really easy thing to identify, but alas, I've had no luck. Any help would be sick ;-)

Hi helloimneil,
you need to right click a material in the node graph, and choose the Save option. Then you can save it as .orbx, or directly in LiveDB or LocalDB.
Please, have a look at this similar discussion:
