Turn of octane texture thumbnails.

Hi guys !

Is there a way to turn off my textures thumbnails on C4D. Or a way to make them stop updating if they have animation ? The animate option on my material is off but still updates when I move through the timeline. Is a C4D thing or Octane textures. In Maya I can turn off the textures thumbnails updates. Very useful. I need to find the same option in C4D.

I will really appreciate any idea or solutions on this topic.

Thank you guys. Have a good one.

Cheers.

Alvaro.

Hi Alvaro,
I have tried to reproduce the issue here without success, everything doesn't update except the Live View :roll:
Are you using standard c4d materials?
Could you share a simple scene?

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

Octane generate a material update if this has animation on it to be previewed on the material window. In my case I animated the emission channel. I do not need to see that happening on the thumbnails. It waste resources and makes the whole thing very slow. With one material is ok, but it becomes increasingly slower with more materials. In Maya is a button now added to the material window.

I can send the scene but I will have also to send the textures.

Cheers.
