I think unlimited access would encourage excessive use, and it also appears too expensive for anyone who has just an occasional need.

I would sell blocks of time, say $25 per block to keep your handling costs reasonable. Reduce the cost per block if larger quantities are purchased at one time.

Of ...

...allow the user to interactively create and modify an HDR image!

That would be a breakthrough taking Octane to a whole new level.

My concerns are:

1. If Refractive ever goes out of business, I'm stuck with software that won't run (or is at the least crippled). I still use some software from defunct companies - software that I placed a lot of time into learning, and I'm glad it still runs.

2. I purchased a graphics program ...

The exact placement and alignment of the tables and chairs throws out the realism for me. Make placements a bit random.

With a little more work this can be a great render.

File > Open > Recent

allow picking from last 5 files opened.

I have two simple UI requests commonly found in Window programs:

I would like to see "Open Recent" in the file menu, containing the last 5 files saved.

File > Exit asks if I want to save. But clicking the X in the upper right of the window closes the program without asking to save.

My modeling app, MoI, does not have animation.

Am I correct that soon, using Octane only, I would be able to create an animation by programming scene rotation and camera movement?

If so, this would be done with a script, or will basic animation tools get added at some point?
