Hi,is it possible to have a choice in the future as a preview over the sphere, a plan, a cube, a node, torus (primitive) ? For example, with alpha channel, it is easier with a plan. With the node can set better reflections.
Thanks

Hi
Sorry, I do not know if I understand correctly, but
it is easier and immediate to prove a material with its settings also compared the type of surface to be applied (plane, spherical, cylindrical, cubic ..).. least for me it is easier to set the type of reflection that I get. .. if I have a texture of a written, is more immediate to have a 'preview on a flat surface of a sphere instead .. at present I have a scene with the primitive and there do my tests, but it would not hurt to change in real time directly in the scene work
Thanks for the attention
