Hello,
I'm wondering if it's possible to control the transformations of an Octane procedural texture with the motion of an external object?
I tried to add a standalone Texture Locator and use the embedded Octane Projection with the procedural, but I get an error:

Tried to access null node pin
Tried to access null item
Tried to access attribute via invalid ID A_VALUE (185)
We can't evaluate items of a different version (version 0)!

Is there an alternative way to do that?

Thanks.

Regards.

It looks like Modo texture locators only work for Octane image nodes.

The modo plugin allows you to connect modo channels to Octane channels using the method described here:
https://docs.otoy.com/ModoH/ModoPluginM ... annels.htm

I have attached a file showing you how I'd control an Octane node from a modo item (locator). You can move/rotate/scale the locator, and this will update the noise node.

Thanks man, my bad I haven't thought to expose floating input channels in the schematic... I wasn't aware it was possible at all.

Thank you very much!
