Material mixer

[Ebo]

Hi, I am using material mixer and when I set the value to 1 I am not seeing the same material as if I plug it straight into output node. Also blending is not even. When the amount is 0.9 I am still seeing much of the blue color when blending from blue to red. Red being 1. Please help.

Hi,

What Octane plugin version are you using? Here the latest 2019.1.2.0 build seems to work fine. I've seen several fixes in the core related to these features, so perhaps this is an old bug already fixed.

Thanks,

Hi, I have the latest version installed. It was incorrectly working when used the slider on the mixer, but then I plug in a procedural noise and it showed the right colors.

Can you share the scene with this problem? Here the slider seems to work as expected.

Thanks,

Hi, sorry I did not notice you replied. I recreated the problem on a simpler scene. I am sending one hip file and two images where if you pay a closet look. You will see that the edges of the box look different. With my scene, that problem gave a very different look. I hope it helps. Thank you. PS: just to say again, when I do the transition with procedural noise, everything works fine

Hi, Did you look at it? Was it helpful?

[juanjgon]

Yes, sorry for the late reply. I can reproduce this problem here, and I'm trying to build a scene like that in the Standalone to report it to the Octane core devs. Once reported I hope that they could be able to figure out what could be the problem to fix it.

Thanks for the repro scene!

Ok. I've built a Standalone scene that reproduces the problem. I hope to know more from the core devs soon.

Thanks,

great, hopefully, they fix it

This problem will be fixed in the next build.

Thanks for reporting this issue!
