It crashes on loading screen.

- Correct version of plugin is used.
- nVidia Drivers are up to date.
- Just removed "3.08-Test 6" and copied new 3.08-RC2 plugin to C4D plugins directory (not updated standalone version)
Could you pls try it in standalone? It's better to see problems.

They can be read from standalone topics.
What do you ask for Blend material? It's actually a different form of mixed materials to provide a more organised way. Whole parameters are same as octane materials.

Hi slepy8,
the Sheen parameter is part of the Metallic shader => PBR translation, and used, in general, for simulating clothes and velet.
For a diffuse cloth, set the Specular and Specular Map to 0 Black, and use the sheen color pin to indicate the color of the reflectance. And also use the roughness slider for controlling the roughness of the cloth:

About the Irradiance pin in the Kernel node, nevermind, it is only useful for Unity integration, and it is roughly similar to the Clay render mode.

Thanks guys
You're helpful as always!

However I belive that making one good video explaining all new features would be way easier for everyone, than forum explanations.

Just like X-particles video manuals. They work like charm.

I'm not complaining. Just a future tip to Otoy team. The way to make everyones life easier ;)

cheers!
