Octane Image Texture display in viewport have been enhanced recently,
You shouldn't need to do anything special if you use old opengl viewport 2.0 or the very old legacy viewport.

But anywhere else in Maya, Octane Texture are not supported at all.
For example when viewport 2.0 is set to use DirectX (as I do), any Octane Material is just grey .

Anyway my advice is to don't bother with that and just override Octane material display in viewport 2.0 with standard Maya shaders.
use this very simple script for that :

I guess it's a good point for the Maya plugin and you'd have to ask Paul why Modo plugin load geometry much slower than Maya plugin
(but I'm a bit surprised, never heard of such a flaw for Modo's plugin.)
