Please, update Octane Volume material

[motionskill]

In the latest updates for Octane, we have two parameters In Medium Volume: volume step length and shadow step length. But Octane volume material preset still has one parameter so it doesn't work as it should

The SHOP context is deprecated. SideFX has deprecated it a long time ago, so the SHOP presets are no longer updated. You need to work in the new /mat context, inside the Octane material builder node.

Thanks,

Why Octane place all materials from LiveDb and LocalDB to Shop context in this case? And why there is no presets in material context? Presets in SHOP are really useful

[juanjgon]

The liveDB/localDB support in the /mat context is a planned feature in the short term. The same will happen with the current Render Target shop node. Once ready they will replace the old SHOP features.

About the presets, well, the old SHOP nodes are nothing special, they only have the material VOP node inside ... each user can build his own material HDAs including any material workflow they want to share among his projects.

Thanks,
