Hi there,

Sorry for the question but I am pretty noob with Octane.
When I change (or assign a new) material, the IPR doesn't refresh.
I could refresh it manually with the refresh button, but it would take a disgusting amount of time as the scene is pretty big (11m polygons).
And by disgusting, I mean something like 23 minutes only to START the render...(btw: is it normal?)

I have a dual Xeon 5560 with a GTX970 and Win7.

I have a work to finish FAST and I would really need some help with this...
Thanks to everyone who is going to answer!

If you want IPR to refresh when there is a change of material the object must use the "Movable proxy" geometry type. And there no way you could have guessed that, just one of the quirk of the plugin.

well 11m polygons is a lot, you're lucky to not crash,
the plugin is very slow to export high poly number, it was coded when VRAM was way lower ,
but if your objects don't use the "Global" geometry type, exporting geometry should be faster.

Good luck !

Thank you Very much, these information are precious for me now.
Have a Good day!
