HOW TO: Quickly Import C4D Octane Decals with a script.

[jigarmistry]

I wrote this script for importing decals as it's quite tideous having to setup a new decal every single time.
This script takes the path of a material directory as input and creates an Octane Decale object from the available texture maps.

It's a pretty straight forward tool so just a fast-forwarded demo should do it.



Features

• Takes material/decal directory path as input.

• Supports selective texture maps imports or uses the available texture maps automatically by default.

• Can use the name of directory as decal object name.

• Automatically matches the size/ratio of decal object to the resolution of image textures

• Adds float texture as input for unavailable texture maps.

• Adds Color Correction Node and Gradient Nodes to Diffuse and Info maps respectively.

Extended this script to completely automate the decal importing process.

Updated Features:

• Takes material/decal directory path as input.

• Automatically connectes the active PBR material (outermost material tag) with the Decal object.

• Supports selective texture maps imports or uses the available texture maps automatically by default.

• Can use the name of directory as decal object name.

• Automatically matches the size/ratio of decal object to the resolution of image textures

• Adds Color Correction Node and Gradient Nodes to Diffuse and Info maps respectively, fallbacks to float texture for unavailable texture maps.
