Material Previews not updating
Posted: Sat Oct 30, 2021 2:39 pm
To speed up my workflow, I disabled Options->Materials Previews
I then proceeded to convert non-octane materials. The new octane material thumbnails are empty (zebra-stripe). I then enabled Materials Previews but they still don't update.
The only way I can get them to update is by opening a material node editor and then clicking on each material one at a time until the thumbnail updates.
This does not happen if Material Previews is on before I do a material conversion.
PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS POST. I GOT IT TO WORK!
(multi)select the materials that are not updated, then right-click inside the material editor and select 'Render Materials'. Nonetheless, the behavior in Octane is confusing because you expect the thumbnails to update after enabling 'Materials Preview'.
