So, that's it ? no answer ?not for the Cloud edition neither for 1.5 release ?
something like shut up and wait ? Is it the same for all ? big Studios included ? :?:


The development team for the world's first GPU based, un-biased, physically based renderer should be cut some slack. Especially ...

I run a 580 3GB GPU in a Main Gear F131, a case which has pretty exceptional cooling as far as cases go. At 100% GPU load my 580 runs at about 85 degrees, even with the side panel taken off. You can lower this temp a few degrees by lowering the render priority settings.



Now, I too was concerned ...

I have gotten my hands on, at some point or another, just about every rendering engine under the sun. Be it demos or friends on campus, I have been fortunate enough to play with Maxwell, Vray and even Arnold. I have tinkered with Blender Cycles and had an affair with Modo during a project I did ...

Thank you jim for answering all of my questions in such clarity.

I would just like to know if anything in this version of blender (your version) has been disabled. Can I use all of my existing scripts and addons for example in your version?



A Few Other Questions:


1. If I instance something in blender will it automatically be instanced in Octane?

2. Can ...

Ok thank you, that does clear it up for me.

I am very happy to see that the new Octane + Blender plugin is available. $99.00 is more than worth it, but I have a few questions first. This plug in does not actually seem to be a plug in but an actual modified release of blender.




Question 1: Am I correct? Is this in fact a complete blender ...

My rig is a custom Maingear rig, and to be frank I am a little scared to mess with it. I would love to implement the upgrades you have suggested but I do not trust myself.
