Hey there,

just installed Octane standalone and loaded each demo scene, but the preview window stays grey. Cuda is there, Octane seems to know the card, a GTX560 Ti. Shouldn't Octane imideately start rendering?
No red hints in the info, but after loading there is still 0 textures, tris and meshes. Demo scenes are in a seperate folder on the desktop.

When asking, I clicked all nodes one after each other and nothing happend.
After your post I checked again and now it started rendering after clicking on a render node.
Thank you for giving it a kick. Without your reply I wouldn't have checked again!
