Xpresso and Materials

[Tag12345]

Ive noticed that within xpresso, that textures wont update if you use the CONVERT MATERIALS option.

Materials that aernt being used with xpresso will change to their Octane counterparts, but materials being used by xpresso stay standard c4d materials.

It would be nice if when clicking convert, it checks xpresso too and automatically relinks the Octane textures into the xpresso this way its not such a pain to constantly do this manually, especially if you are working on converting rigs over to a Octane-Material based rig.

Can you give sample to explain better? I can't follow every posts when requires spending a lot of time to understand. Sorry!

BEFORE CONVERT



AFTER CONVERT



Notice how the xpresso material doesnt change as its still linked to the standard texture

Thanks for scene. Now more clear. You wish to have new connection to new materials, isn't?

[Tag12345]

Yes

[aoktar]

Yes

Ok! I think it's possible but need to learn access to xpresso interface from C4D SDK.
