just yesterday

spheres are same object instanced with 3 different materials applied, "ground" have same white material as sphere.
when I have few spheres, render is ok (AO), when I have 11.000 instances there is a strange color on side of the cube.

Crash case:

*Make a teapot.
*Set it to Movable proxy
*Start Octane render window
*Hide Teapot = crash

I also have a request.
Could you add a checkbox to enable hidden proxy rendering?
That way we could hide heavy instanced models from viewport, but still render them with Octane.

I think this happened because of trying to open "blackbody emission" in the emission tab of diffuse material

There is bug with material emitters. when you set diffuse to 0 and place a blackbody/texture emission in the emission slot it does not update material preview and just show black diffuse material. This causes the object itself to be non-illuminating but still send out light.
