They do if you hover the cursor over the scene node pins , just not if you hover the materials eye dropper over the viewport.
Octane never did that, did it? Did that work in the past?

Thanks,

well it did for me in the last Beta unless i'm going crazy :lol:

sorry yes i am going crazy ignore that.I mean when you just hover the cursor over the render preview screen you should get the part names up that the cursor arrow is hovering over , just like you do on the nodes in the node screen.

Not having a good day here. ;)

Also one other thing i have noticed.

My available GPU ram seems to have dropped in this version to 578 MB available from the previous version that registered around 750 MB (see previous screen grab). Are the new calcs correct? i seemed to have lost around a quarter of my memory compared to the last beta.

Your screen capture says 728MB. Was that made in beta 2.48b or beta 2.48c?

What was the speed you got in beta 2.48b? What happens if you reduce the glossy depth to 8 and/or the specular depth to 8?

Cheers,
Marcus

small request seeing as how you are fixing little bits here and there on the quiet... :o

please can we have the file name removed from the recent files list if it is 'not found' when you try to open it.
most programs these days do this :mrgreen:
this has bugged me for ages :?
thanks

Hmm, one thing we have changed is that the free memory is checked now every time we display a new result. The main reason we for this is to detect situations where we loose more and more memory due to some leak or some other problem. In the past we would not detect those issues until Octane gets killed...

Could you please have an eye on it? For example if the available amount goes down over time or goes down when other 3D applications are used.

Which kernel are you using?

Thanks,
Marcus

closed down the scene.Reopened it.Now it's back up to 726MB available.(see screen grab)

I have switched to all 3 kernels.The memory does not fluctuate.
