Hi Lino!

Are there any plans to include this in a future update? Seeing that we already have access to Octane's picker tools it would be great to have this function available in Blender's viewport for ease of use.

Hey stuz0r! Nice to see you using Blender every now and then

Do you happen to have a render region? Sample count is uncapped when enabled. You can use the shortcut 'ctrl + alt + b' or go to view > view regions > clear render region to disable it.

I can second that. I've noticed this happen in previous builds, especially in heavy scenes.

I'll provide my steps below just incase:

1. Create a "Box" object.
2. Create a new material for said object.
3. Insert a ...

Just attempted your solution with both versions, unfortunately that leads to the same result.

Octane's Scatter on Surface Feature doesn't work as intended in the version 28.14 stable and 29.7 alpha.

1. File > New > Octane Default Startup
2. Add > Mesh > Plane
3. Create New Material for Plane
4. Setup Simple Scatter On Surface Node Network for Plane

In regards to your screenshot, replace the node "Capture Attribute" with "Store Named Attribute". Set the dropdowns to "Color" and "Point" with the appropriate attribute name and you'll be good to go! Refer to the screenshot above.
