Is there any visual feedback for textures in Xsi appart from hitting Q for the interactive render? I'm just used to Maya's little windows which show you what's happening. I've been playing around with the render tree but it doesn't seem to have any preview windows? Is this feature available in 1.5?
What do experienced Xsi people do when they want to see how a procedural texture they're working on looks? Interactive render with Preview node?
