Hi there,
we wrote some material plug-ins and now i found out a mystic thing:
If I render a scene where the material is used on an object.

• in editor view the material is shown
• in Picture View shows only a white rectangle

How can I render the scene in PicView that it looks like in Editor View?

Do you use GetActiveDocument() in your shader? In that case, you need to use the supplied "doc" pointer instead. Otherwise, please compare how your plugins are called (using the debugger) to see if there's any detectable difference in how your code is executed, for example if you return white in the picture viewer instead of the correct color. That should enable you to track the error backwards.

Thanks Mikael,

I solved the problem by using a command plug-in which executes RenderDocument with the renderflag RENDERFLAG_NODOCUMENTCLONE.
Seems that the automatic clone isn't an exact clone
