You can circumvent the issue by doing the following
- Open material
- Set metallic texture to none
- Set the metallic slider to 1
- Set the metallic texture back to what it was

The metal texture should show up now.
It is not ideal, but it should unblock you until we have a new build.

thank you for your help, but I do not understand what to do exactly?

The issue was that the metallic texture of the unity material is not showing up in octane.

The bug occurs because metallic textures are not loaded when the metallic slider is set to 0 (Which is incorrect). So to "fix" it you can set the metallic slider to 1.
The metallic slider is visible when the metallic texture is set to none.
like so:
Metallic.png
Metallic.png (3.47 KiB) Viewed 2864 times
Then after you set the slider to 1, you set your metallic texture back to what it was.

It is not ideal, but should unblock you.

thank you, it works but the rendering is so different.

I tested the octane material and it makes super realistic rendering.

Does it have a way to save the materials settings? to be used for another object with the same material except the textures?
