Hi;

I was wondering if there was a quick and practical way to visualize procedural and/or file textures applied to an octane material without the hindrance of lighting and shading in Octane for Houdini, ie bypassing the material to solo out the texture?

Thank you;

Yes we added a tool for this recently.
You can find it in the right click octane menu, or in the octane tools toolbar.
There you can assign a shortcut to it (right click, edit, and then under shortcuts)
You can see it here in action: https://youtu.be/vCKGJ4NT4gA?si=2dHzk3rLwtvGDLZ7 (around 22:46)
Happy Rendering!

It's a great place to get very fast feedback or support from me and other Octane Houdini users.
I'd highly recommend it!
