Hi everybody

I have several small issues

3 - Why Octane does not compute me all the selected thumbnail? (see screenshot)
2 - is there a way to save a personal library of materials via the live DB or something else? I save a scene with the shader will then search through the Append, but there must be an easier way surely.
3 - Are there more shader in the live DB we could go download or site octane shader free or paid?

Thank

I know I can answer #2. That will be a feature in version 2.0 witch should start being a beta this month. It is a paid upgrade though.

For now, you can export your material macros and then import them into scenes at a later date.

Has the ability to save and re-use Octane materials been added to Octane Blender 2.0? If so how does one do this? How can I re-use my Octane materials in other Octane Blender projects?

Also can some one please explain how to export them as macros?

Have you tried Append?

Or perhaps you could simply copy the nodes from project to project? (You can copy almost anything between two projects like this: Open two instances of Blender simultaneously and Command/Ctrl-C and Command/Ctrl-V the stuff you want to copy.)

Thanks justavisitor, that seems like it will work.
