Hi all,

in the upcoming 2.1, if you right click with the material picker, you see a list of all materials, including the ones behind the one that's visible,
so you can select materials of objects that are hidden behind others.

some screens attached :)

Great news Radiance !

This will allow to get rid of these dummy objects that I hide under the table to select their materials ! :P

May I suggest a search engine in Octane to select a material by its name ?

It could be useful to select very small objects that are not always easy to pick with the material picker... It would avoid moving the camera and zooming on the objects and so loosing a good framing for example, just to select a material.
