I think you can convert a material into a sub material, though, right? If so, couldn't you then mimic the workflow you are familiar with regarding the composite material?

Hi,
thank you for the answer,
it is a material created from scratch.(for testing purposes)
Yes the composite material works well, but the mix material allows me to bring back a material "already created" into the setup

I have used this trick as well for quickly testing material alternatives... too bad only 2 materials can be used at once. Mybe it's time OTOY considers a new "Switch material" for toggling among a numerous number of shader options easily.
Fstorm and Vray have implemented it already quiet well.

converting into sub or layer etc.. isnt a option here ,i have to keep a non destructive workflow with this material.

There is a "switch node" script downloadable on the forum in .lua format,
https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=74018

it is very smart for standalone ...
By cons I do not believe that there is script node other than .osl in Octane cinema 4d ?

I noticed that Octane Live Viewer window is "blinking" while rotating or moving view when mouse pointer is located in LV window. When mouse is outside LV window and rotating or moving view is done in C4D perspective viewport it works fine without "blinking". This "blinking" looks like for one frame LV camera is reseting it zoom. It is related to previous Octane versions too.

So when I open the scene and start octane render I get this errors:

The octanelogs shows this:

Hi all,

a few questions:

1) Is random walk SSS implemented in any other material types except the basic diffuse material? On every other material type (universal, layered, etc.) the node does nothing, but in the diffuse material I can see it at work. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

2) The composite material is crashing C4D as soon as I drop an image texture in it. Tried reinstalling drivers to no avail.

3) When I try to add a Layer Group into my Layered material, the node appears empty with no slots, like in the picture below.

2- I don't support that's related to drivers. How did you connect imagetexture to composite material?
3- Try this buttons

Thanks aoktar, a solution to the first problem above is this:
- If I drag the RandomWalk node from the list of nodes on the left side of the node editor and plug it into the Medium, nothing happens.
- If I click on "RandomWalk" button inside the Medium slot while it's empty, and plug new nodes into it, it works.

Figured you wanted to know.

Thanks for the tip for 3), totally missed that option.

Cheers

"Be sure to keep RTX off in this specific version.
It looks like material management gets messed up due to a current core issue if RTX is on."

Can we use RTX again with the newer build?

Thanks for the great work Aoktar!

Thanks!
It's up to Core. RC2 is the core(standalone/sdk) number. The core will change with 2020.1-RC3.xxx or later.
