Hello,

Thanks for update,
I done just some quick tests, the displacement look better, but I'v not textures preview on the Maya viewport,
I done test on Maya 2016.5 and 2017 default and 2.0 viewport, I'v got same result, with old and new scenes

It's juste a problème with me or you broke that?

Pc version, Windows 10

Regards

Since this is stable can we get it for subscriptions?

Hi Johan

Thank you so much for the positive feedback

We have made massive improvements on Maya viewport since Octane render for Maya 3.06 - 10.21. Now the texture display support on (Directx, OpenGL and Viewport 2.0)
To avoid viewport lagging, Maya texture preview can now be customized as global texture viewport efficiency setting for all materials or on the selected material level.
Please try changing the texture resolution from Octane Render Setting tab and let us know how it went.

Hi brianbrook,

The subscription license is now ready to download.

Hi BK,

That's work I had don't see this tab,

Txs

Does this just use only us the the diffuse texture in viewport or can you choose (say,
I want to see normal or spec in in viewport)? what about if using layered mix materials?

Hi BK
when I load a scene with 3.06.2 - 11.5 (which worked with 3.06.1 - 11.3) maya stalls completely. Can't minimize nor close normally, nothing is clickable and in the Task Manager Maya uses 0% CPU. I left it for about 30 minutes and it didn't recover.
Let me know, what you need to analyse this issue.

Best regards
Cyrill

Hi itsallgoode9,

Currently, it is supporting only diffuse texture in the viewport. Perhaps we would consider these features for our future releases.
