How can I view textures in the OGL views when an Octane material is assigned to objects? They don't show in the viewports which is making UV editing and texture positioning a pain. I'm currently having to keep switching between a principled shader and the octane shader because Octane IPR is not updating to reflect changes in UV positioning and the mentioned lack of OGL textures in the viewport.

Hi,

There isn't a solution out of the box yet, but it is really easy to build your own material HDAs including your workflow (the Octane material, texture nodes, etc. that you want to use in your projects) and the OpenGL tags to link all these node parameters to the viewports.
