The only reason possible.. I didn't bought the new license yet.
I work on game development, so I use this software occasionally for fun on my free time. :

Yep, just pure geo coverted from Zbrush
Not very efficient, but works.

I have a question: since 1.55 doesn't support hair, how did you make yours? It's just geometry from fibermesh?

An illustration I've finished yesterday.
Mi version of the Van Helsing character.
Rendered on Octane 1.55, made on Zbrush, 3dsmax and PS

Hey, thanks guys..
The hair is not Maya.. is a raw mesh coming from Zbrush, straight away.. it has quite a lot of polys.
Is not the most efficient way of doing it, but it was the simplest by the moment.
I hope Octane will eventually have support for fiber rendering or something like that.

Impressive.. the eyes are very believable..

thanks!
it was kinda challenge to fit that many polys into the gpu memory.. the hair was extremely dense.
But Im happy on the results for the time... despite it still can be improved a lot.

Its been awhile since I wanted to actually do something of character work with Octane.
Also, was a nice excuse for trying the Zbrush fibermesh feature and the Octane's SSS.
The headphones are an old free model found around the net, don't know the name of the author. Was getting lazy by that part ...

SSS really made my day

Sounds good to me..!
You should probably register your algorithm..

Duhh..

Today I ve just downloaded eagerly this new version; I ve been disconnected for a while..
I just can't have connection 100% all of the time.
Yeah, I know you need to protect your soft, but this just kicks me out.
Guess I'll have to keep oldndirty MentalRay at hand.
