Hi, we figured out that:

if we have 2 material that switch themself using xpresso, and we use "REMOVE UNUSED MATERIAL" octane command, all material unused in that particular frame will be delete.
Is possible to tell octane do not remove material when present in xpresso?

As you can see in the attach file, in that frame we have changed the assigned material to the same object... and it will be cleaned...

I hope i was clear in description...

Thanks in advance.

Same thing is happening when you try on this scene? It's not deleting xpresso tag here. What's your version numbers?

MMm probably I have not explained well, sorry, but the problem is that "Remove Unused Material" remove one of the material even it is used inside xpresso.
It doesn't remove the tag.

Since both of material is used by Xpresso, the one unused in a given frame it's deleted pressing "remove unused material"
They are both used... there is any way to tell Octane to check xpresso before delete materals?

Hope i was clear :)

Thanks Aoktar

I overlooked the issue. Ok that's obtainable by a revision from plugin. I'll take a look for a moment. But i'm not sure how easy to read GV interface and content.
