Hi there,

when I want to download the liveDB material from the Modo Octane plugin I get an error 404 „This page does not exist.“.
https://docs.otoy.com/manuals/products/ ... index.html

When I login in my account and go to LiveDB, than there are no LiveDB materials too.

So, where can I download these Materials?

The later versions of the plugin no longer provide this link - since it was not a robust method of providing LiveDb materials. The preferred method of access LiveDb method is to open them in Octane Standalone, Ctrl-C to copy the LiveDb into the clipboard, and then Paste Material in an Octane Override in the Modo plugin. I will provide a more streamlined process in a future build.

Thanks

Ah, thank You. Good to know.
After a couple searches I found the download link.

OTOY have now provided all the API links to enable the plugin to display the LiveDb load window, so I will see if I can get it into the next plugin build.
