C4D Layer shader with image ends up black

[bartolos]

Hello all,
Just a question if anyone encountered such behavior.
Basically i have a native C4D layer shader with some stuff, and it works fine (noises, adjustments, etc) but when I put a bitmap shader in there, it just doesnt seem to have any effect (black layer). Same bitmap image outside of the layer shader works perfectly OK. I am using native C4D bitmap shader inside the layer shader of course.

Cheers,
B.

Please try to use Octane textures rather than using the Layer shader. It will be more stable and faster.

Yes in the end I baked it and used as just bitmap...
