OTOY Forums

Newbie question here.

In C4D I have a simple box with an Octane material set to red. There is a light with an Octane tag.

The color is correct on the Octane display but purple in the Perspective display.

What am I doing wrong?
FYI I have C4D set up for Linear Work Flow.

there is a lag refreshing viewport textures, i think problem this is. If you touch color again will be matched. Also please wait next release which has some tweaks on color settings

Thanks.

Also, what do I need to do to generate shadows?

for viewport?

Yes. I have created and Octane light and a floor with a Octane material and set shadow in the light options.

can you show screen? It has a different concept on lighting. Only light is accepted are arealight because this

Here is an image of my screen. I am using a Octane arealight.

floor object not supported please use a plane. Then you'll see shadows

Apparently Octane doesnt see Floor objects so I replaced it with a Plane. Still no shadow.


I must say I am not happy with the way Octane works as this point. Had I known that all materials, lights and other stuff could not be C4D, but had to be Octane, I would have never bought it.

Still no shadows with plane.
