Hello, can someone please help me make gradients work?
For some strange reason, the colours are mixing instead of showing a smooth transition between them.
I'm using OctaneX, full version (for some reason, I can ONLY post in this forum, so apologies if it's not the correct one).

I've tried using:
- Octane gradient
- C4D gradient
- Using a Sinewave node between the gradient and the diffuse

None of these work. I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. So if you can help me that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

two modes are available for C4D gradient+noises: OSL mode or auto baking conversion. OSL is not yet supported in PR2. It should be the reason. PR3 is available for trying with OSL

By OSL are you referring to the one selected in the screenshot?
If that's the case, my mac freezes the moment I assign it to the 'Diffuse' channel. I have to reboot it completely.

Any other ideas or possible workarounds? I just need a simple, two colours linear gradient.

Thanks!
