OTOY Forums

This also happened to me on the previous version of Octane, was hoping that 2020.2 had the fix...

Cinema 4D R23.008 and Octane 2020.2
NVIDIA DRIVER 461.60

Octane Node Editor does not auto select material in the Octane Node Editor Window (It used to do this)

In order to create the error I:

--
1)Create a new material and single click on it

2) Click on Node Editor Window

3) Either a) No Material is Selected OR b) The previously selected material is selected.

---
I have tried:

- Trashing preferences

- Uninstalling all other versions of Octane

- I have 2020.2 (matching) versions of Octane installed

Here is a video of the problem

Anyone else experiencing this?

Sorry but it's looking like works well! It's getting which material active when you click the button. What are you showing exactly as issue?

Hey Aoktar - thanks.

In earlier version of Octane when you clicked on a material in the Material Window, then clicked on the Octane Node Editor window, the Node Editor Window would automatically display the material that you have highlighted in the Material Window.

Currently, I have to click "Get Active Material" in order for the Node Editor Window to display the material I have selected.

Hi,
There's an option in Node Editor's menu: "Auto load materials". It's not enabled on you.

Hey Aoktar - I tried selecting that and restarting C4D - but it still does not auto show the material in the Node Editor Window for me.


Heres another video capture of that:

Is there something I am missing?

Yes, node editor should not be covered by another window. Then It's not called for refreshing. Make it visible while you select any materials.

Ah okay - Ill give that a shot - thanks!
