I think a lot of it would be removing the need to use nodes for most people.

I personally love the nodes in octanec4d, and have no idea how people who use mix materials without them. That being said, I feel like the way this implements mix material methodology is very C4D like in UX.

holy crap I want this in cinema bad. Specifically the ramp control over instance colors. Or you know, just straight up real x-particles support.

unfortunately, nothing is clear. But I assume when it actually launches, and we can really use it, it will be.

still no date though... and we're 2 months passed the window you mentioned at GTC.

oh yeah I'd love to use the octane scatter engine on these particles for sure.

its working well, unlike the actual plugin.

I've never used such an unstable 'release'. I really can't believe they shipped this to users in this state.

that works, thanks!

edit: even with that, it only works at first. if you pause live viewer and then make a change, cache, and un-pause the live viewer. Crash.

just tried the demo myself, after caching, building a mesh, and clicking render in the live viewer I get an immediate crash.

run the scene and then hit build mesh. See if you can get it to render.

my system is a windows 10 x99 with 4 980 ti on the most recent nvidia drivers.

Is a June release in the works?
