Octane Material Layer nodes let you construct complex Materials that consist of a base layer and up to eight Material layers. The layers are based on components used in previous OctaneRender® Materials. Using this set of unique layers, you can recreate complex Materials in a physically-based manner, as opposed to manually mixing Materials together.
