Title: Decoding an Octane file for Corona
Post by: caspian on 2024-08-05, 07:21:37

Hi there. I've been handed a file with an Octane to recreate in Corona. It seems simple enough but I'm stuck as I've never used Octane. There's a single material stuck on the Specular channel of the Octane material. But where do I put that on my Corona setup? And can I do a similar texture projection to Octane?

UPDATE: I put in the Diffuse channel with a triplanar and it seems to do the trick.

IIRC
In simple terms: Specularity is reflectiveness in old-school 'metallic' approach (mirror, metal, glass...).

TL;DR
Make it metal, use in Diffuse.
