I'm trying to rebuild the MBB quixel PBR node in c4d, and there comes a problem when switch gradient node to complex mode, I can't make start value driven by any nodes I try(FloatTexture or MixTexture), but it can be done in standalone, anyone knows the reason? thanks.

It's always better to post some images like this. Otherwise just more confusion happens.

thanks for the reply, it's my mistake on connect some node, and I use another way to do that, thanks!

I tried reproducing the material in the LW plugin. Where the input or start or finish was an image, I just plugged that in. Where the key was a number (0.2 for example) I used a float texture which goes from 0 to 1 so you can just put in 02. Problem is, even with the same set up, the output looked different to the standalone version

What I do (until there is a better fix) is I do my project in quixel (Im assuming that's what you're doing) in unprocessed mode. I export Albedo, Gloss, Spec and Normal. I then plug them all into a gloss node in Octane. (I sumtimes have to have gamma 1 and sometimes gamma 2.2, havent sussed that yet). I make sure the Gloss image is gamma 1. Put that into a colour correct node. Invert and make it gamma 2.2 and plug that into the roughness input. It works quite well.
