I have updated the installers at the top of this thread with: Once it is available, I will post the update. However, the above changes require the next Rhino SR candidate - which is not publicly available yet. Fixed issue where sometimes an error dialog would get hidden behind the main Rhino window and could not be closed, which impacted loading liveDb materials whilst the viewport is open. Material mix now supported too - material1 is used for the preview. The FIRST diffuse map found anywhere under the 'diffuse' pin will now be used as the diffuse map. Added smart conversion of Octane material to Rhino materials for the Rhino viewport preview. Loading a material from the LiveDb now correctly refreshes the material preview in the Rhino viewport The groundplane material is now picked up and rendered with the correct material (and you can material pick it if an Octane material has been assigned to the ground plane).

Generation of the bitmap occurs in a separate thread to the GUI, so shouldn't slow things down. Added material preview bitmap generation in the Material panel. Disable if the constant warnings are annoying you.

Added 'Warn If Texturemaps Not Found' option in the configuration.

Added conversion of layer materials to Octane layer materials when doing 'Convert all Materials to Octane Materials' Fixed issue when 'Convert all Materials to Octane Materials' where the new Octane materials where not picking up the original Rhino material colors/attributes

I have a sizeable update finished and ready for release.
