I think this is a known issue; stacking materials does not work with the Standard Surface material, neither in 2022 nor in 2023. will this be solved in the next release?

When Standard Material is used as a sub_material, the bump height parameter does not exist (in addition to the lack of Diffuse BRDF models in the standard material when used as a sub_material), it seems like an older version of the standard material is implemented in the sub_material.

Not a known issue, I can fix it if you make a request.

Stacking materials are important things. In Redshift they are advertising like strong point.

These are fixed for next builds. Soon you will have it!

It would be nice to have it, thanks.

Composite AOV outputs on GPU checkbox in Settings is turned off every time Device Settings window is opened.

Fracture works with Instance Range node but only with Random Effector connected to it. Unfortunately changing seed in Random Effector do nothing in Octane. Random Color node doesn't work at all with Fracture even with Random Effector.

It's always ON in the Octane side and deprecated. I'll remove this option.

If material tag is selected in C4D object browser all Octane material float sliders in Node editor stopped to work interactively.

Noticed some strange behavior with bump maps in this version.
With Glossy and Metallic and Composite materials
Any kernel, UV and box mapping (no more mapping tested yet), any Diffuse BRDF model, any BRDF model
