Thanks!

Offering OctaneEngine API as a web service for offline/live rendering (from your own network or cloud) opens up a lot of possibilities. We hope to see it adopted in every browser or cloud based art pipeline, just like our current plug-ins do for desktop apps .
As I understand it ... :?
The gizmo ...

Good lighting!

Standalone is usefull & very powerful tool..but a lot of Guys do not even touch.. & it will remain so untill friendlyness is going to change..Gizmos & small thigns like that are important & if OTOY wish to have more feedback or more of the comunity to use leverage it we do need those little changes ...

The Standalone is far more powerful!

At this point, what is the benefit of having Standalone version? I have to start evaluating...
What's the best combination between octane and software? Cinema4D with OR plugin?
