OTOY Forums

I also did a video on what I am missing.

Thanks.

So please make an override directly to Universal material.

Hi Bart. As stated above, if you can provide the conversion rules for the Modo Material properties to the Octane pin values, I can look at incorporating those rules into the plugin.

Thanks

o man, i am not that smart to understand that fully. Was hoping the video is showing you what is needed.it shows all the changes i need to make to get it working.
Basically when i do a PBR material it has a metallic map aswell. Octane override in Modo does not convert to a metallic map.
We need Universal material so it can work with PBR metallic maps. So for me all that needs to be changed is do an override conversion to Universal Material so it can also include the metallic map.

This video shows the process i would love to see in Modo (from SP to Blender)

Bassicaly, the maps: _basecolor ; _height ; _metallic : _normal; _opacity ; _roughness needs to be changed to a Universal override.
Linear Gamma is set to 1.0
SRGB gamma is set tot 2.2
Non color gama is set tot 1.0
I did some screenshots which show the correct settings for the nodes.

Thanks.

yupp... thats it ..

if possible, make all these maps work direct with modo too.. specially metallic map. If doable this plugin will achieve another level !!

I will look into this when doing the Octane 2022.1 version of the plugin.

Thanks

Thanks Paul, that would be great.

I have updated the installers at the top of this thread with:

2021.1.5.186
- Compiled with Octane 2021.1.5
- Moving Octane Overrides between Material Masks no longer causes them to be renamed
- Fixed bug where the Panoramic camera was ignoring Modo DOF settings
- Fixed bug where Image Sequences were not loading correctly for certain timeline frame numbers
- Fixed bug where camera motion blur would not render after scrubbing the timeline
- Added the Octane Light property to Photometric Lights, which when enabled will trigger the plugin to use an Octane Quad Light has the IES file host geometry
- Fixed issue where Toon Ramp Material -> Value pins were add Textures instead of Float Values
- The octane.saveAnimation command no longer exports an additional 2 frames
- Fixed issue where the Daylight Environment was not correctly setting the sun position when scrubbing the timeline
- The Select Render Pass button now displays the current render pass being displayed in the Viewport (if Octane is rendering)
- Fixed the Add Material Pins To Proxy Mesh command (which was not allowing material ndoe connections in the previous versions of the plugin)
- Fixed issue where Replicator Visibility changes were not being applied when rendering an animation or scrubbing the timeline
- Added support for the Modo Texture Locator "Edge" Repeat properties (ie. if both Horizontal and Vertical Repeat is Edge, then the Octane Border Mode is set to "Clamp Value"
- Fixed crash when using the octane.importLocalDb command

Thanks

Paul,

Anyway to make this "correction" to the latest version of Octane, an option in the Octane prefs?

2021.1.5.186 (17-May-2022)
- Moving Octane Overrides between Material Masks no longer causes them to be renamed

I personally found this useful.

Cheers,
Toby

Hi. Can you please explain the need for this to be a preference?

Thanks
