Hello,

i'm playing aound with the great Octane Render DEMO (Cinema 4d Plugin) and erverthing works fine....BUT
I can't set up the dirt shader?

I jput the dirt shader into the diffuse channel as a texture, but nothing happens.
I also tried it with to different colored diffuse materials in a mix texture and the dirt shader in the amount channel...same thing nothing happens.
Some example scene with dirt materials also didnt work.
My System:

Mac OSX 10.9
Nvidia Geforce 780M 4GB

Can someone help me pls?

Hi,

Your second method should work. You might have a problem with scale, either that or try tweaking the settings of the dirt texture.

What does the material preview ball look like when you try this?

Thanks
Chris.

Hi thanks for your help-

i ve tried to scale my object up and down.
also tried to tweak the settings.
did not help.

we got a licensed version in our office and there it works.
the preview ball in the mix material takes the color of material 1. (see attached file)

any other solutions?

Hi, I have given this a go with the demo on Mac and it's doing the same thing for me.
Sorry about that. It must be a bug in the demo.

Thanks

Hey I've been trying to figure out implementing dirt using Octane in Cinema. Is it possible to use an image-based dirt map? For example, like on the render of iron man in the gallery on the homepage?
If someone could please let me know how I can go about this, I'd be very grateful!
