Hi guys, in the last days the preview in the cinema window does not show octane textures anymore.
Octane Setting > other > use octane for Opengl previews are activate
I know that I could see textures and colors in cinema window before.

Second, does anyone know what this info "normal" are in every Programm like Photoshop, Cinema... ?!
Maybe from nvidia driver, i dont know.

Third problem: Octane live viewer doesnt show current state of textures. when i set up from UVW to cuboid, or change color, or scale it, EVERY TIME i need to restart renderer. or sometimes i need to move the camera.
And the green light on the "restart renderer" button never glows green. Only grey. I know, 2018 octane glows every green when i click it. its a bug?!
With ObjectTag -> Force Updates i can solve this problem. but I'm surprised it worked before without. But why the Icon is grey, not green ?

can you see material previews? Check the "opengl previews" option is checked.

Meterial Preview... same problem. I see the old state but not the current. when i change color in octane texture, the preview no loading, it is transparent.
I remember, i disabled the "Opengl preview" Option last 3 Weeks. Since, the problem exist. The option is active, but nothing happen.

SORRY, misstake, i found it. You mean the option in Liveviewer > Option > "Opengl preview"
Ok, and why the green light not glow on the button ?

I've disabled it for a stability issue on dialog gui.
