Using Context Menus for Octane Render for LightWave

Last modified: 10 March 2025

The Octane nodes have a set of custom context menus to make possible the creation and edition of complex node trees only with mouse clicks. To open this menu, right-click over the Octane nodes. The root node of the render target node editor also has a custom context menu to provide direct access to nodes and config tools.

Some menus are sensitive to the click position, to link the added node to the input parameter under the cursor.

These are some of the tools included in the context menus:

  • “Default setup” feature and all the render target nodes in the Render Target Root node

  • Get “Texture Image node” in the DayLight and Texture Environment nodes

  • Get “Projection node” in the TextureImage node

  • “Link to Surface” option in all the Octane Material nodes output pins

  • Material nodes in the Octane Material Mixer materials input pins

  • Texture, Texture Tools and Procedural nodes in the Octane Materials texture input pins

  • Displacement, Emission and Medium nodes in the Octane Materials input pins

  • Texture, Texture Tools and Procedural nodes in all the Octane tool nodes
