OTOY Forums

Ok so, I have the "enable real-time in viewport rendering" option in Octane enabled in all my default scenes. And works great to get faster, smoother previews in Blender's viewport.
Now here's my issue: when I activate the octane AOVs and the Octane compositor output, the blender viewport goes gray. But I can still see the render previews in the Octane viewport. With real-time compositor working and all. If I then disable the real-time option (keeping the AOV and compositor), the Blender viewport goes back to working normally.

Any fixes coming? I love the real-time option, use it all the time as it really helps with viewport speed and smoothness.
Many thanks!!

Thanks Skientia. Yes I realize RTV is not the be and end all viewport solution and that there are other ways to increase the viewport efficiency. But RTV is fantastic and I would just like to see it work with the Octane Compositor as well. (I heard yesterday that RTV doesn't support Compositor yet)

The Real-Time option currently limits other features, such as using the compositor. This is why I always recommend keeping it turned off during "production" workflows.

Thanks Lino. But what I don't get is why it does (seem to) work in the Octane viewport and not in the Blender viewport?
Many thanks!

That's an interesting question. I'll look into that. Thanks!
