C4D Octane Tutorial: How to Switch Materials Based on Fields @thepixellab2011

Uploaded May 2022 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

In this tutorial I'll show you how to switch between materials in Octane based on a Fields Animation (in Cinema 4D). It's a great node called the Color Shader node which allows you to access the fields color. Kind of hard to explain, but it's a super useful technique so take a watch and learn how it works!
