sss material diffuse viewport previsualization.

well exactly the title.

VrayMaterial has viewport preview.
VrayFastSSS2 material doesn't preview textures, doesn't even have the options. "show shaded material in viewport" nor "show realistic material in viewport" when doing right click.

Use case:
Sometimes I have some UDIM using VrayFastSSS2 and I can't see anyting relevant on viewport... I know I won't get a nice SSS effect in the viewport, but just a diffuse color would be helpfull.

One trick for such shaders is to use a 3ds Max Shell Material, and set the viewport material to whatever you want, while setting the baked material to the SSS material (or whatever material displays poorly).

Oh yes I've used that before, I guess I will be keep doing so then. thank you!

Don’t get be wrong, I would rather not have to do that too.

Just a work around to let you control what you see in the viewport.
