Hi,

Just found out about Modos Texture switch node when I was looking for somthing like 3Ds Max MaterialByElement Modifier or som random texture placement plugin.

Is there anything like this for Octane / Modo or is there a way to get Modos Texture switch node to work in Octane ?

Would love this functionallity when working with architecture.


Somthing like this, but I can not connect them...

I think you could just plugin the two images into an Octane Mix node.

Hi Paul,

Can mix texture randomly place different textures on different meshes/objects in the same material? If so, that's exactly what I am looking for.

Unfortunately not. However there is a random color node, which will randomly color instances in an Octane Scatter node (ie. from a Mesh Instance or a Replicator). So if for example the windows need to be different lightnesses, make them generated from a Replicator and the random color node should work. See Random Color Texture at https://docs.otoy.com/#60Octane%202.0%20Features

Thanks for the tip

This would be so nice to have, the colors show only how the randomness of the textures are applied.

This is not available at the moment in Octane. However I would think it would be trivial to setup a texturemap to do what you want (with Gimp or Photoshop), or bake out the texturemap from Modo.

Hello,

Do you think this node ( or a Octane's equivalent ) will be implemented at some point ? With the Variation Texture or also an equivalent ?

You will need to submit this to Otoy as a feature request. It's not something that I can implement without it being supported in the native Octane renderer.

Still no random texture/material function like the one in 3ds Max "MaterialByElement" ?
