I know ;) The problem is, that we haven't released the final version yet, which means the current version number is actually something more like 0.8.something or 0.9.something . I guess, the scope of OctaneRender 1.0 final has changed tremendously from what was originally anticipated, hence the ...

please bear with me on this one, heh

its not an engine feature, more of an organizational request :P

versioning....

is there a way to have Octane follow a normal versioning system?

for example,
1.0.0.0 would be version 1, THE major release.

hey Carl, you use max.. go ahead and take your network card out of your computer and see what max does. unless you're using a floating license:

that "double" comment is semantics

YOU have a wicked awesome widget

you sell said widget for 1000 bucks a pop

70% of people can buy it for their grommet in its current state ($70k)
