I can't believe I've only just realized this.. but the normal map won't work unless there's an Octane override on the material?!

I try to use Octane overrides as little as possible, since they can't be copied from scene to scene (that's also sorely missed..).
Maybe the documentation should mention this specifically (sorry if it does, my have missed it)..

You are right Jan - normal map are only working when you add on Octane Override for the material containing the normal map. I will fix this in the next release.

Hi Paul, it seems that the Normal map still only works when an override is added.

I just re-checked this, and it appears to be working fine for me on the latest TEST release of the plugin.

I can confirm it's working even without the override, as of 2.25.

Thanks Paul!
