I exported a material from Cinema 4D into my LocalDB folder, and I see that it's an ORBX file in the explorer folder.

BUT--- when I open the LocalDB window in Houdini, it doesn't show the file name for the ORBX material, but instead shows it as "root".

I can select it and import it, and the material works. But why is it called "root" and not the name of the material? I will have a folder of a bunch of files names "root" in the Houdini Live DB.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Thanks!

I was able to resolve this by dragging the material directly into the LiveDB viewer in Cinema 4D, as opposed to right clicking in node view and saving as ORBX.
