I think this is not possible maybe for a limit in Cinema 4d sdk (if I remember correctly).

Not. We don't have extra options in Octane sdk to use different preview scenes.

thx for the answer. this is surprising for such a powerful program. will that change with V3 ? even a simple option like a plane would be useful.

thanks but gpu programming is not easy cpu rendering softwares. There is lot of limitations and hardness. But we have option using plane in previews.
