Hi, I've been working with Octane in Unity and it is very annoying the fact that I cannot see nothing in the unity viewport when I use Octane materials. I only see a pink flat color. I watched some of the octane videos for unity and I realised that they have an option called Unity display texture that is a feature for that issue. However I don't have this feature. I don't know the reason of this.This feature was erased or was changed its place in the interface? How Can I do to solve this problem and see something in the Unity Viewport, for example the albedo texture.

Thanks in advance!

You should have a button called generate preview on there. Does this not work?

I dont seem to get pink materials in unity. But I did find an issue where universal material nodes always show up white.
For some reason the diffuse material node does work. Does generate preview work if you use a diffuse material node?

The diffuse material does't work for me neither. I tried to create a new scene from scratch in Unity 2021 and it works fine. The problem seems to be related with my project.

I finally found the solution, it wasn't related to octane. I had the HD Render Pipeline selected in Edit->Project Settings->Graphics. Changing this to none fix the issue.
