Add-on 30.12: Collection Instances do not instance Octane Object Attributes
Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2026 12:06 pm
Dear team,
I found that there is a significant change from 2025.3 to 2026.3 in how Octane handles collection instances.
In 2026.3 the Octane Object Attributes of the individual objects in the instanced collection are not passed trough anymore.
Instead the Object Attributes of the instance object itself are applied.
Please see two screenshots attached from Blender 4.5 (Octane 2025) and Blender 5.1.2 (Octane 2026)
Would it be possible to get the old behavior back?
Best,
David
