Hello users,

I have a strange behaviour with my C4D plugin.

If I add a Material from the octane integrated DB to an object
it looks like picture 1. (Step 1) ... the verticles are shown in the render ?

(Because I also wanna have this material upddated I also added an octane object tag to the object.)
(Step 2)
When I perform a scene update the material shows up in the right manner.(Step 3) (picture 2)
Updates now work after I have updated the entire scene. (meaning the scene is fully reloaded
to the graphics cards memory)

After that, material changes from the octane material database are live updated.
So everytime I add a material to a specific object I have to perform those steps.

Object tags added to a group of objects (0 File in C4D) arent also working as expected ?

So whats wrong with my workflow ... or maybe with the C4D plugin ?

"aoktar" could you show how to perform live material updates when using DB materials and
oktane object tags.

Thanks, nick

This way the c4d plugin isn't useful as I have expected.

still no solution for the c4d plugin ?

sorry ... can't use it that way !

Hi,
what's your plugin version? Did you look to last versions?

used plugin version is 1.00 ... is there an update ? ... if yes ... cant see that in the
customer download area.

PS: standalone version is 1.2

thanks, nick

sorry

will test version c4d plugin 1.16b-win ... latest one I have found

Will report back as soon as I have my changed graphics card (changed gtx 580 to 780)
Guess the 580 was faulty.
