Can't find Node Graph Editor pane

Hi,

I can't find Node Graph Editor pane in Daz3D (Windows->Panes).

I just installed Octane Render for Daz3D 1.2 x64 on Daz 4.6.2.118.

Also, is there a video tutorial for custom lightning setup?

Thanks in advance.

I don't believe a tab shows up in Das Studio. If you go into the Octane Renderer tab, and then go to material, open the NGE, you can drag the pane and dock it anywhere you like (it is a fully functional pane, if you will).

I opened Octane Renderer, I clicked to material, and I still can't find NGE. How do I launch NGE?

Thanks for replying.

you can either double click an entry or press the return key on a selected material in both tree views - or use the button shown above (or use the respective tool in the viewport).

if the pane still doesn't show up, it probably somehow went off-screen, in that case you should reset you pane layout: in the ds main menu go to "window > workspace > select layout..."

oh, btw, just in case: the smaller button next to the "open viewport" button provides a so called "what's this help" for many of the plugin controls. it also reveals possible interactions that are not that obvious...
