But..multiply texture...now it has 2 texture (default: one is not connected and one is rgb)? And it seems not to work properly with preview node. Evenmore if I put an image on texture 1 ...after I can't disconnect it.
A disconnected node is treated as black, so a Multiply would multiply black by the second texture, which will always be black. And there would be no reason to disconnect texture 1 after a connection has been made. So I think this is working as expected.

Hi,
I have reinstalled Octane 3.06_test4 and the last rhino plugin. Now I can't see the preview texture because it seems deactivated. Any idea?

bye

Preview is only available if Octane is activated. Try opening the viewport first, and double-check that the plugin has not de-activated in the Activation tab (and if it has de-activated, check the Octane Log for clues as to why).

Hi Paul,
Octane is activated as you can see in the pic below, but I can't see preview.

Hi - it is working fine for me. The only explanation I can think of is that Octane is not authenticated. You would need to click the Authentication button to be certain. And check the Octane Log in the Devices tab.

Hi - I have find the bug causing this, and the fix will be in the next release. In the meantime, if you start Rhino with your internet connected, you should be able to use the Preview menu item.
