I'm running into the same old problem with the extraordinary length of time Octane spends generating materials. I know about switching off the options in the live viewer and settings, but I do need to see the open gl preview very often to position textures.

Do you think it would be possible to implement material previews on a 'per material' basis, maybe have a checkbox somewhere like the editor tab of the material?

This would give a big boost to workflow.

Use a smaller resolution for opengl previews for edited material

Thanks, I normally set that to 16MB for detailed texture elements, type, logos etc. Good to know I can speed things up by turning it down.
