not sure what you mean.

oh now, I found it, had already tried it but it was creating a mix material instead of a blend.
Thanks.

Hi,

the last release work fine, only the material preview seems really slow. What could be the reason?

I 'll sending you by PM a material with which this pb occurs: for Diffuse / Color and for Index / Rgb IOR: the second red value remains on 0.

Thanks guy! I'm not surprised, too much things I'm working on together. Please send me which parts are missing. Btw I fixed another problems of converting mix materials to blend material. Will be there for next release.

Hi Ahmet, Yes I understand: too much things you're working on together and here, with this function convert to sub-material, I well imagine too much parameters to test. But, if we can help a little for checking this very useful function, voilà: with last R4, the value of roughness is missing for the sub-material obtained by conversion. I am sending you by MP a file with two materials with which you can see that the problem is occurring.

For example have you tested on different scenes?

It seems that it continues to update the material preview without stopping. I have to wait a couple of minutes and then everything is ok...
I also found this problem with network rendering:

Launching net render slave (4000017) with master 10...
unpacked file image has unexpected type
didn't receive all required images from master
invalid message received from network connection
slave crashed or was stopped via CTRL-C
reached the maximum number of consecutive runs of a slave (5) -> bailing out

Thanks

if it is possible:
in order to avoid confusion, if an unnamed mix converts to blend it would be logical in this case that the new blend is named with blend.
thank you!

I made a video that shows that when I change a material everything becomes very slow until Octane regenerates the material. I try to move the camera but it responds after 2 o 3 seconds..

How big your texture preview size? Try to use default size and please share your scene with me if possible
