Will we see plugins released soon? I'm still not seeing 1.1 for Blender.

Waiting on support to get my Blender download working, but during my lunch break I threw a high-resolution OBJ onto an HDRI environment and things seem to render pretty fast on a 5600M.

They’ve likely had a beta they’ve been building against for some time now, but the API changes have been pushed off to Big Sur. That would explain why the NDA was needed for the private beta.
