It would be great if we could get a brand new Daz studio Integrated Plugin that works directly in Daz as the current one does not seem to transfer all the scene data over. You have a ton of potential subs in Daz but need a much easier way to make it work while building scenes in Daz.

Octane for Daz Studio would be much more useful If Octane had built in Nvidia .mdl support. Nvidia did open sorce MDL

Now to add Nvidia .mdl support please

So is this new Octane Universal Material like Iray's Uber Material. If that is so then this could remedy a lot of translation headaches between Daz Iray to Octane conversion

If Octane has this NVidia cuDNN stuff inside it, would this then mean that possibly at some point Octane could directly handle Nvidia's .mdl materials, and Iray Uber Shaders?

Also, any direct PBR SBSAR material import and Octane.

cudnn is only a library which we use for denoiser, our material ...

Is there a Way for RedSpec to make a plug-in that converts Iray textures to Octane textures using the Newly open sourced Nvidia Material Definition Language (MDL) that way we could more easily use the Daz/Poser plug-ins to octane without the extra work

Well Nvidia Open sourced there MDL SDK so maybe can use that to help with Material conversion
