OctaneRender® 1.025 beta 2.51 [OBSOLETE]

[abstrax]

Does it say "(failed)" in the viewport status bar?

no, it just doesnt do what it should. for example if i create a material macro and attach it to the mesh node. now doubleclick the macro and attach a diffuse material to it. thus far everything works. now i create a specular material for example and attach that to the macro and the renderer still renders the diffuse material.

That is the same problem as reported from bepeg4d. It's actually harder to solve than it sounds, which is why it's not fixed yet, but we will attack it in a future release. It occurs only if you change the connections to a macro output node.

Cheers,

fyi: when i just changed the environment setting it happened, too

btw, i first came along this behaviour using version 2.49 (if that helps locating)

What did you do when you changed the environment setting?

it's not a big problem but is there another way to update the viewport without changing the render kernel?

@Abstrax: I finally found out what my problem was in Linux, I was using old 270.x drivers so it wasn't able to detect any cuda devices. I just upgraded the drivers to 280.13 and now things are working fine!
