Hi,

I'm pretty new to Octane so far and I'm having an issue with animated color values, driven by User Date Xpresso setup.

Basically what I have is several illuminated materials that change their color. To make it more convenient to animate, I setup a simple Xpresso tag on a Null with some color pickers, that are each linked to the color channel in the Octane material. (see picture)

It works fine so far, only if I keyframe the colors and render my final scene, the animation will not render. It stays exactly the same... I tried putting an Octane tag with the force update on my Null and on the color material itself. Still doesn't work... What am I missing? It feels like it's simple, but I just can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help!

Cheers

I'll check if you post a sample scene.

Hey aoktar,

thanks a lot. I had to delete most parts of the scene, since I've signed an NDA But the important part is still in there.

I've keyed two colors from xpresso and changes are taken to account for render. Could you check this scene again?

I think I managed to fix it myself. I've changed the Color Node into an RGB Spectrum and the Gradient into an Octane Gradient. That helped im my final scene with an Octane Tag. Not sure what was causing the problem before.
