Hey guys,
The French Monkey here.
I've been working for a couple weeks now on a new tool for Octane, the ''Genesis Skin Controller'' which is an expresso driven tool that gives a lot of options at hand to nail the skin textures. This will be a free little Plug for Cinema4D+Octane users, that will be downloadable from my site.
So far the setup works great, however I've encounter a couple problems while trying to make presets and custom libraries!
-1) I cannot transfer textures to another mesh, Octane Cancels all the texture images (error loading image)
-2) I cannot save Octane Mix materials to the C4D Content Browser.
-3) I cannot save the materials in the Octane LiveDB without cancelling my expresso nodes, originally applied.
Long story short:
I'm asking and trying to find someone in the community that could work on a Python code, to make it a proper Plugin that would load in the scene all the Octane textures and expresso nodes linked up!
I've searched enough by myself and there's no work around to make that work as I intended!
So yeah, if someone has some knowledge, I will be very thankful!
Side Requests:
If someone has the knowledge and is whiling to work this out there's some specification about the plug I thought could help!
-1) I wanted to integrate a button that would load different presets selections (changing sliders value)
-2) An easy way to transfer all textures to a different mesh/model
Download the Beta version here (zip file with the c4d scene)
Of course if anyone takes part in this, credits will be given as due!
Peace...
