Hello,

is it possible to export more complex texture set ups?

I've been trying to export a blend material but all octane got was the rgb color of the blend material itself, neither of the child materials:-)



Also, I have an object that has two materials applied to it, one to channel one and one to channel two.

How would I export this to octane and retain the channel 2 uvw coordinates for the texture?

uhm...*bump*?;P any thoughts, or is the question too silly?:-)

Same Question Here

If it's a multimaterial, then it will show up as two or more materials in Octane, and if they can be mapped only using one uv channel per material then it works. There's no way to choose a specific channel for the maps inside Octane, if your second material only has one channel whatever number it is, it will use that. But you can't have a color map using one uv-set and a second one for bump, for example. afaik.

This is a limitation of the .obj file format and the exporter, some of the data is just lost when writing the .obj file. To know what's supported or not, simply import the .obj back to 3dsMax, to get an idea of what you're gonna get in Octane.
