I'll be back!
Before I splash out 2500 € on AC upgrade, just to render inside AC, I'll deal with Blender to render.
Not so direct, but not bad at all after checking the working path - save as 3DS, import in Blender 2.79, then open in 2.81.

If it means even faster and better rendering, that's all I need to ...

Happy after I've bought the special price combo.

When the OctaneRender® for ArchiCAD 3.00 stable version is going to be released?
And what are the major differences compared to 2.00?

I'll need to go back and check - but I'm pretty sure the OctaneRender Viewport is NOT a Windows window - it's a blank ArchiCAD panel - where the renered bitmap gets paste onto a custom screen widget.
