No interactive updates for materials...

[davision]

Perhaps I misunderstand how RT is supposed to work, but I thought any adjustments to materials would be refreshed in the Activeshade window.

I get updates when I move an object, camera or light, but not when I adjust the material -- reflectiveness, refractiveness, diffuse or whatever.

I have to shift-copy the material and reapply to get an update. Is this correct?

Works for me - the RT picks up material changes without reapplying the materials; if you have a case where this does not work, please send me an example over to vlado@chaosgroup.com and we'll try to correct this.

I also occasionally have material changes not updating, but it is not consistent. Also occasionally when having default lighting with GI on, there is no GI in RT and there are no shadows from the direct lighting. Very weird, since most of the time it works OK !

If you manage to get any of these in a reproducible way, it will be very helpful if we can look at the particular scene.

Hmmm, I'm testing the same scene this morning and it's working properly. There definitely is a sporadic problem though because last night the "link" between the material editor and RT was totally gone. I'll see if I can figure out the preconditions.

...reproducible...

I wish it was so I had something to report...

Ok then; hopefully it will turn up here too so that we can correct it.
