Weird - now it seems to have come back - not sure what happened there.

On the later versions of Octane, it seems the Particle Rendering tab on the Octane Obect Tag is missing. How do we now render particles? All of the online documentation suggests using the Particle Rendering - but this is no longer an option.

While in the LV, the render I was getting was looking exactly how I wanted.
