Bake Sculpt Objects & Octane

[kacperspala]

Hello ,

What is the proper way of baking normal/displacement for octane from c4d ? I simply cant get anything to work so far, its always ugly/distorted/with black edges/broken.
Any help please ?

any render samples? You can't bake displacement because points are generated internally in runtime.

I think kacperspaia meant baking sculpted meshes within Cinema. I am also having problems with that.
Never found the right way to do it with octane.

Yeah i sculpted with cinema than used "Bake Sculpt Object"



1 - hi-res sculpt
2 - low-res object
3 - new low res object with c4d materials (normal + disp) created after "Bake Sculpt Object"
4 - low-res object with displacement map mapped to octane material
5 - low-res object with normal map mapped to octane material

As you can see object is UVed.
Please help :'<

can you do some search on forum about this. There is some limitations for displacement and not a issue from plugins.

Has anyone made progress on this? I am running into the same issue.

Has anyone made progress on this? I am running into the same issue. I actually cannot load anything into the displacement channel of an Octane material in C4D.
