hi
I'm a new octane render user and new to this forum.
I just want to know how to apply material to each element in the scene individually
using C4D r12, simple test scene (text on a plan), exportation: OBJ
thank you in advance.

Hi there.
Create and apply different materials to all objects in C4D, export obj & mtl,
and use the material picker in Octane to adjust them.

See Octane manual (PDF) on page 36, 37 and 68.

what I'm missing is a MTL exporter.

There is a C4D Plugin available for licenced users (sorry not for demo),
which manages to export the obj and mtl very well.

alternatively, you could try the riptide exporter for C4D to get that mtl file.
It´s freeware: http://skinprops.com/riptide.php

what I'm missing is a MTL exporter.

Licensed customers have access to a C4D export plugin that writes OBJ/MTL files, and adds some additional functionality like animation export and rendering. You will get a general overview about those things in the manual, which comes with the demo beta 2.46 and which you also can download from our downloads page.

Cheers,
Marcus

thanks for your help.
It works fine with Riptide.
