Mixing two normal maps with the mix node still produces a wrong results. In GIMP or Photoshop if you 50% mix two normalmaps, the result is a valid normalmap, but in Octane this doesn't work - and is the reason you sometimes have to duplicate & mix whole materials, just to mix bump details.

First, I love the new lock pane option. Saves a lot of heart ache.

Second I think the manual is out of date. The export options for Daz studio should really be scale of 1%. The number listed in the 1.0 manual is a very old setting and should be updated. I learned this myself when I first got started by reading comments in the Daz studio forum.

With messy huge nodes config, it's really hard to quickely locate a node or group of nodes to work on.
I think it would help if it was possible to assign colors to the nodes to help individualize them.

1. Adjusting values using sliders (moving them to the left or right) is so sensitive. It is especially painful when I try to set a position/displacement value for an instance.
Is it possible to adjust values as it is done in 3Ds max - place the cursor on a desired parameter and holding left mouse button drag it up or down, and the more you move it the faster the value is changing....

2. Camera response setting would be easier to set if we could just hit up/down arrow key.
