[@TechMayor]

thank you so much for your videos, i know it takes a lot to record and pratice then discover and then share

[@1polygonewithme]

Your welcome no problem lots more to come 👍🏾🤓

[@AliG-vw2zu]

Do you know if something like this can be done with whole assets, i.e. model and materials?

[@michelangelop.266]

Very useful video but in the new octane I can't find the destination folder of the local Db, do you have any ideas?

[@1polygonewithme]

It's in the preferences tab in the Octane add menu

[@SIO_Ihor]

Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful!
Unfortunately, in my case Live DB does not work properly, it saves everything except the images of the textures..
Do you know of any other ways to store materials, maybe some add-ons? I really miss having this capability.

[@1polygonewithme]

Yes I stopped using the DB I use Blenders asset library works fine

[@SneekeeMonkee]

Question
I've followed directions to set up Octane in Blender but my Live DB materials never load properly. Everything *but* the image texture files themselves load leaving me with black materials
I've exited & restarted the Otoy server and tried new blender files entirely.
Seems like it's a decently common issue
Any thoughts?

[@1polygonewithme]

Yep LDB is broken I have seen some of the same issues with Cinema 4D users also

[@SIO_Ihor]

І'm having the same issue, it's not working. I've tried online materials and my own, but in any case, the texture nodes are not loading correctly..
