Here is how looks a new gradient node now for me :

Is it work in progress ? or specific to my Maya version ?

But what did you prefer about the Live DB UI in render setting compared to the one from the Octane Shelf ?
(I know image of shaders were supposed to be cached, but I always found it was still slower than the one from Octane shelf)

Maybe this was just removed on purpose because most of the users are using LiveDB from the Octane shelf button ...

Except my maya octane shelf does not have a LiveDB button either...

Nevermind: it's the openDB button... I thought that button was something else. All good.
