IPR requests

[Techie]

Hi,

I have two small requests:
1. Add an option to hide the render statistics in the IPR window and also to hide the buttons (two separate options). Perhaps this could be added on the right-click menu in the IPR window.

2. It would be nice to be able to render directly in the regular Houdini Render View. I understand if this wouldn't render (or update the render view) as fast as the external IPR window, but it would be nice to have it as an option.

Other than that the plugin is perfect.

I also have a question, why are the material nodes called "NT_something"? Just curious.

Thanks!

Thanks for the requests. I will try to add this features in the future, in fact I want to support the Render View and the render region tool as soon as possible, if I can figure how

The nodes are called NT_**** because this is the internal node name in the Octane API, (NodeType_****). I don't want to translate this names to have the plugin as clean as possible, and make easier update the plugin with new Octane features.

That's great, thanks Juanjo!

I would also add my voice for this feature.

- ability to dock the current IPR floating window into houdini UI
- ability to use houdini renderview with octane

Cheers
