+1 for Udim workflow! Very useful for beginners to understand and how it's used in Octane.

Looks like a good list! Please cover SSS though since that topic in v3 was a bit difficult to grasp. Took me a while to understand it (maybe v4 has fixed the learning curve but I haven't looked yet). I use SSS with my fur materials so you can possibly make an SSS video that connects to the fur video.

Oh man, my mouth is watering for that uber material! Can't wait for a hassle free system between octane and substance... Next up is getting UDIM support and continuous displacement! Well done guys! Really like this iteration!

Thanks for the reply! Good to know.

Apparently the 4D plugin is implementing an uber shader, didn't see it in the standalone so I assume it's something the dev is just adding in. Possible to implement one in Blender? One that plays nice with substance painter? Or am I going to have to start learning OSL?

For example; I key a model to have the render visibility on and in the next frame key it ...

Really happy to hear about Octane Blender getting some love! Is there going to be any official news on the current state of Octane in general?

Sorry, I did mean hdri. And I thought making a simplified node for Octane would help in it's usability. Thanks for the Doc link but maybe someone needs to do a more in depth tutorial series on Blender Octane.

Anyway, is Otoy going to be making any updates on what is happening with 3.1? And is the ...

Wow! Long series, I'll be sure to dig into it.

Is there any news with regards to improving the manual for Blender? It's fairly barren. Basically no info with using compositing in Blender/Octane. Octane is great but the lack of online help is a bit saddening.

And in terms of usability I have a small request, would it make sense to have a ...
