  Works in 4.1--and it really saved me a pile of trouble when I was importing Evermotion plant lib AM86 using the "Better Fbx Importer and Exporter" add-on (Blender's built-in importer couldn't handle the Fbx version). One out of fifty plants had multiple groups of texture files mismatched, e.g. a mask for leaves was applied to flowers, a bump map was applied to the wrong diffuse map, etc. The plant was obviously messed up but figuring out where the multiple problems were was made very simple using Node Preview. All I had to do was select a shader slot and see if all the texture files belonged together by their basic shapes. Once I found a "black sheep" like a leaf shape in with flower shapes, ll I had to do was update the texture file to the correct one.

  When it works, it's amazing. For some reason, regardless of version, I get lots of "no shows." The node is installed, claims to be visible, but I don't get the preview. I gave up on this about a year ago. When it works, it's a miracle to understanding how Blender creates materials. Blender.org should buy this and integrate it into the product. I'm suprised this hasn't happened yet.

  This addon is a must-have if you use nodes. Also great customer service, had a problem and was quickly resolved within a few days. 5/5 Stars

  Seems like a blender oversite to me. Coming from max, I was a little annoyed that I couldn't see the various maps in the nodes. Thanks for taking the time to raise blender's UX bar for artists and professionals. Way faster than "click node > ctrl + shift + click" as well :)

  One thing to consider is making the exr and hdr thumbs render at least as decent as the preview does in the file view/chooser.

  Still though, great addition to blender (and maybe they will look into this as a default option to toggle/view individual maps in the future). Thank you again!

  This is the first add-on for Blender I bought and it's become nearly indispensable while studying procedural shaders; it helps so much to see the result every step of the way, especially when using vector math. I have become much more experimental. Worth every penny.

  The dev is also very responsive; I talked about a possible bug in my Blender Artists Sketchbook, not being sure yet whether to report it, and there he was telling me the bug was fixed in the latest version. Can't ask for better customer service.
