When I am importing a fbx all materials are blender materials. Is there any chance to set octane materials by default when importing ?

A dedicated FBX importer would be needed for that. You can convert the materials using the Convert To Octane Materials option.

I am aware of the converters but when I do a bulk convert of all materials this typically ends um with and unrenderable scene because of messed up materials.
We are dealing with quite large assemblies (FBX Imports) of 100+ objects with 50+ materials.
When doing the conversion 1 material ( convert selected) at a time that typically works.
When doing the bulk convert (all materials in the scene) operation then this results in an blank converted octane material with only an Material Output Node left.
OSX 14.6.1
Blender 4.1.1
Octane Addon 29.11
M1 Pro 32G
Any help appreciated

That's quite odd!
Can you please send me one of the FBX files you're using (possibly not very complex) so we can debug the issue? Thanks!

Yes, we're about to release a new version which fixes the material conversion.
It will be available soon.

Yes!
Very old scenes may need manual tweaks, by the way.
