If I create an Octane shader and edit some of its values, the script editor gives me no output about the changes.
I would like to write some code that changes the shader values of an Octane shader, but how do I do that?

The maya plugin implementation of the color swatch/greyscal slider in Octane materials are just a terrible hack
= the widgets are not linked to any node attribute, values are only stored in the Attribute Editor UI

You need to use the dedicated command "octane -pin" to edit them,
for usage, execute "octane -help" in the mel editor.

Or you can just avoid this by connecting a RGBspetrum or Greyscal color node in the texture input,
then you would have a regular Maya color attribute to tweak from script.
