Octane Power Tools in 2012 ?

[rappet]

What about Octane Power Tools at this moment?
I found that googling on OR And after that I found a few negative and positive posts ( while ago) about it.
Is it not worth spending time and money on that?
Or is it a nice added tool to make animation in octane render without the must of working with 3dmax, sketchup or otherwise?
Can it be a help for a guy like me working 'handicapped' with archicad and artlantis and not having a plugin for those.
Is Octane render gonna have the features in the future that Octane Power Tools offer or at least claim to offer, because I have read some different posts about it ?

Greetz,

Pretty sure that is not a refractive software program and not supported by them at all.

Yep as i've seen in the demo vidéo, Power Tools looks like a macro program, I think otoy should make a better workflow but this is not their goal.

Mainly because plugins developpers won't be needed anymore if you could tweak animation and matérial in Octane.

As i've started learning coffee in c4d i hope i could quickly write a "PowerTools" like plugin.
