Version 4.0-RC7-R4 (obsolete release candidate) 10.11.2018

[BCres]

WG,

Don't know if this is related but I exported a bunch of scenes to standalone this week and had one simple cylinder with a background treeline image on it that simply wouldn't show up in the exported scene.

The solution was to make the object itself a group (so it was in its own null group) and added an object tag to both. After that it showed up in the exports. I also renamed the folder and the object the same, but don't think that had anything to do with it.

Possibly it will help you.

Сan't run cinema 4d with Octane since version 3.08.3. At loading gives an error. ""C:\Program Files\MAXON/Cinema 4D R20\plugins\c4doctane\Libs300\octane / dll" is either not designed to run on Windows or contains an error. Try reinstalling the program using the original installation media, or contact your system administrator or software vendor for support.

Now tried to put on Cinema R20 version 4.0-RC7-R2 and 3.08.4. Both fail to start. Also does not work 4th version on Cinema R16. The last good version 3.07.0 R2. I Use Windows 7. Drivers all new. How to be?

You know what would be great? a Node that can be used to group other nodes, so that you know on the fly what a group of nodes are producing, for example "Rust".

I know this functionality is available in Substance Designer and I think it would be great to have specially when using more than 20 Nodes.

The release is looking great tho! I really appreciate everything you do for the C4D community Aoktar!

Hi Ahmet,

thanks for this new version! I really appreciate the Mix-Mat converter!
But: there is an issue with converted materials: it shows invert nodes that are unneccesary, orphaned nodes and wrong node assignement- see screenshots.
I checked several mix mats and got always this issues.

Thanks and keep up your awesome work!

Invert nodes are required to provide same results. Bwcause blend material's order is reversed. I'll check for other issues.

Sounds strange. In my tests the results were different with invert nodes and after deleting those the results have been quasi the same as mix mats.

Could you send me a few examples. So I can check. Thanks.

I used some of the mix mats from liveDB/Stone. I tried the Asphalt and some others - maybe sending those is not necessary?
