I'm neither Lightwave Digital (who has picked up continuing development of the plugin), nor Otoy, but word from LWD is that this will be available with the impending release of 2024.1.

Hello,

for those who haven't seen it yet, you can find some exciting news on

And I'm so excited to eventually get updated documentation for the LW plugin too! It's still for the 3.x branch of Octane. Way, way, way out of date. Some of the other plugins are just as bad, so it's not unique to LW, but d**n people... :) Stop making me translate that cinema thing's docs... to ...

I agree that the manuals for Lightwave's Octane plugin are out of date, but to put this in perspective, so are all the rest witht he exception of a short addendum in Cinema4D and the Unreal Docs. Here's a quick breakdown of the docs available through the website with the version and publish date on ...

Are there any plans or has there been any work on updating the Lightwave documentation for Octane? Currently the version available under the documentation tab is for Octane 3.06 from May 17, 2017. It's now two years out of date. Pulling information out of the main Octane information and translating ...

I'm curious what happened to the All Access option for Subscription users. It's no longer an option under the "Rent" tab on the shop. I'd like to upgrade from monthly to an annual All Access sub that was available earlier this year. Is this something that's just a glitch in the website or has that ...
