Material Preview Object

Material Preview Object

Hi,

in the Node Editor, it would be useful to have the choice of different primitives in addition to the sphere to preview the Material. I especially often need to preview it on a flat plane from the front.

I remember this being possible in Bryce 3D way back so it should be doable and it would help a lot.

Additionally, it would be useful to be able to preview the texture in realtime on the object it's being applied to, even a lower res version would do, just so we don't have to render every time we need to check for tiny changes. In the node editor the material is previewed in real time on several instances, so it shouldn't be impossible, although I'm just guessing here. Thank you
