Quote - Yes, converting materials sometimes takes work. But once I figured out Octanes nodes, I now know it's possible to layer tattoos, etc, on skin, through the Material Mix node, it works just like Poser's Blend node. Most things in Poser can be done in Octane, ya just hafta use yer noodle and do sum figurin' out.

 

Layering can be done, but not in an automated way - there are often too many nodes involved to make an accurate conversion. I have use the mix, material mix and multiply to a great extent - and that works, but it is different for each type of layering. If it involves offsettting the transmap/control map, you are out of luck and have to resort to Photoshop or other program to blend the layers. (example: putting a mole on a face by moving a control map to the correct position).
