Hi,
Is it possible to change default setting for octane material to have smooth disabled?
Example: I import a building where most objects are flat (walls, etc) it would be nice if i could change defult smooth enable to disable.
Or is there a way to change multiple material at once?

IIRC, the plug-in will use the Poser setting.
Disable it in Poser and it will be disabled after the conversion to the plug-in as well.
I often use something like Snarly's "Scene Fixer" script, to change multiple things at once. One setting is the "Set smoothing" option in there.

Great, thank you

The Octane smooth setting is per material, whereas the Poser smooth setting is per object, and the Smooth setting is Poser is NOT obtainable from Poser - so unfortunately the plugin cannot set the smooth pin for a prop/figures material from the Poser setting. Instead, the Poser smooth setting effects the actual geometry that the plugin gets.

Since the majority of users user Poser for human figure rendering, and human materials need smoothing ON, the default setting is ON. I may however be able to add a configuration option where you can set the smoothing setting that will be set when next converting materials.

I stand corrected
Thanks for the clarification, Paul.

Thank you Paul, i also noticed that it is possible to set "smoothing angle" in the latest plugin setup.
When i change this to 30 the walls looks much better

If you mouseover that smoothing angle setting, it provides more info. In summary - a non-zero figure results in the plugin using the smoothing angle setup in Octane Standalone.
