One thing I miss from octane vs octaneforMax is the ability to see my material in process of editing it.

For example, on a spec map adjusting the gamma, power the combining with a mix material and then multiply material. In octane we can click the node and see a preview ball of what that node alone looks like. It makes it a bit easy to make combinations to get the effect I'm after.

In the future releases is there any way for a quick preview (doesn't even need to be 3d ball) of the adjustments I'm making to the settings of the current material?
