Ah, gotcha no Blender Betas there.
Look forward to it, thx again.

Ah, nvm I see it came out on Jan 2.

EDIT: Lino, why is the 2026.1 Addon Beta not listed on Otoy's official Downloads page under Blender DCC?

Thanks Lino. How far out does it look at this point until we see the Test Version 2026.1 Addon for 5.0?

I'm probably way late to the party, but Otoy seems to be an amorphous cloud of semi-useful information.

Right now I'm hoping to use Blender 5.0x with OctaneStudio Render (paid version) Add-On, so:

- How can I get notified when the latest-and-greatest version comes out?
- Is there any official ...

Yep, you sure did, thank you!

Hi all,

I’ve seen older videos on youtube that show using the “Octane Utilities>Convert to Octane Materal” (possibly not the exact phrase) and when it converts, I lose the original connectors and the node is just floating without them. Is this the intended result, or is this a bug?

Thanks!
Alan
