Every year we have more limitations compared to Redshift...

Try this capsule which generate random vertex map by polygon islands and use this vertex map to drive colors in Octane material :

Thank you for sharing this file. Have been looking for something like this for some time now. Didn't know C4D had this feature.

Unfortunately C4D doesn't have such feature so I made it using scene nodes because I needed this too for tree objects which doesn't have different selection tags or materials for leaves.

Yes... I see now what you did.
Very very good!!
With these nodes maybe some kind of "Floorgenerator" could be created? (Like the one so used in 3DsMAX)

Yes, it should not be complicated to do. I will add this to my next to do plan. At the moment I'm working on curbs generator with damage effect using simple spline. It is 90% done. I have also windows generator from simple polygon edges, wall lines generator with custom width, depth and some more. I plan to put them all in one pack in near future.
Blender has very good powerful generators using scene nodes.

I don't know why Baking Texture node has input for Projection and parameters like power, gamma that are described in manual if they doesn't work :

Event transform node works different here compared to the same image connected to diffuse channel.

I don't know what you are saying here! What's not working?

Projection connected to Baking Texture doesn't work in the same way as for not baked one. This is more noticeably while using baking for displacement and we have mismatch with diffuse channel. Not only for procedural textures but bitmaps too. Please see :

There is nothing wrong with that! Baked node will have UV(0,1) range. Exactly how is on images. You can think as baked node=image!

Ok I will try more. I see to make Baking looks the same as non baked there is need to use transform T.X & T.Y = 0.5

------

This is what I mean. Transforming image node ( scale, rotate, move ) cause that Baking Texture is not synchronized to image node using the same transform values. More transform = more desync :
