it maybe depends on the non-working auto normalization of weightmaps that juan described here:

Ah, now we are back at the behaviour of the preview (Mihou, in all cases the material preview didn't update the renderer did neither). So back to

Thanks for testing this Rivoli. I would propose that a moderator add this thread to the existing http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9581 topic so that the knowledge about the new material editor keeps centralized.

well, you're right in both cases. angle of anisotropy is not there anymore, and since textures are disabled T disappeared as well.

I can also create a mat with two bsdf layers, change their weightmap to 50/50, so far so good. But then try and set one to .100 and the other to 0.900. Nothing changes, at first. But, if you change now also the roughness of one of the layers, the material updates.

looks like a preview bug, it doesn't update when changing the weightmap values.

It's not just a matter of the preview but the renderer itself. It doesn't update.

the updating problem it's still there even with this last RC3.
