Octane Tab missing in geometry node

[azumbrunnen]

I finally got Octane to work but whenever I create a geometry node it doesn't have the octane tab. RedShift tab is there but Octane is missing...

Any idea how to get this to work? I'm running Octane X on Houdini 18.5.532

Unfortunately, Houdini only can add one renderer custom tab automatically, so if in your configuration you have another renderer declared first, the Octane tab won't be added. You can add it yourself to the selected OBJ nodes using the tool available on the Octane shelf, or declare Octane first in your HOUDINI_PATH variable, but then you are not going to get the tab of the other renderer.

Thanks,

As Juanjgon said, you can add it via Octane shelf, then you can save that as default preset. That way you'll have both redshift and octane tabs whenever you create a new node.
