I have not seen this issue previously, so I am completely stumped as to the cause. If you could send me a screen capture movie, I might get a clue as to what is happening. I am sorry for the problems this has caused - it is generally very unusual to hit issues like this.Did you see this error before or is that my individual issue?
Hi Paul,face_off wrote:...I will take a look at this for the next release.3. PBR
I don't have a clue how and which information you can receive from Revits API during the export, but for the most part it might be a pretty straight matching.
I think it is very helpful if maps/values for the basics (albedo, roughness, transmission, normal, bump, displacement, emission, IOR and BSDF model) are transfered.
Opaque material should receive metallic value of 0 and metal 1.
Glazing materials seam to be transparent with a IOR of 1.0 and with fake shadows.
Layered material is not 100% clear to me yet, maybe it doesn't translate well, a metallic "Base Highlights" on top of a diffuse color plus clear coat. "Weight" in that case acts like metallic with it's own roughness value and the diffuse part doesn't have any roughness setting. It's confusing.
Thanks

My estimate is that it will be available in the next 2 weeks.can you make an rough estimation about the timing of the next release?

Hi. It is just o some materials, or all? Is it possible you clicked on the material from a reference scene?I tried the add-on version 4.02.1.58 and have an issue that the material node list is completely empty and right-click doesn't open up a context menu.
Materials are all white when rendering, therefore I assume there are no materials assigned.
I had a good look at this, and couldn't see any correlation between the Revit Physical material and the Octane Universal PBR material - they seem like completely different things. So, sorry, I don't think the Revit Physical material can be converted to Octane (unless I was looking at the wrong thing). Perhaps you could post some screenshots of Revit PBR materials and the Universal material it would convert to?From reading the change notes, I guess the PBR material conversion didn't make it in yet. Do you still think it will be implemented soon or did you experience any major issues?
It's the demo version of the plugin btw.face_off wrote:Hi. It is just o some materials, or all? Is it possible you clicked on the material from a reference scene?
Really? Maybe I'm wrong, but I will dig into it a bit more and post some information with examples and screenshots.face_off wrote:I had a good look at this, and couldn't see any correlation between the Revit Physical material and the Octane Universal PBR material - they seem like completely different things.

Great work on this - thank you. If you could also post a .RVT which contains those physically based materials attached to the spheres that would help immensely.I will post tomorrow how I would assume the converted universal material looks like.
