it has been a year since this was teased, and seems fairly basic compared to photon kernel caustics, is there an ETA on this? Starting to understand why so many people are frustrated with the OTOY feature release pace

in the video Lino Grandi posted about using the toon shader, he uses a technique involving the Blender Solidify modifier and using the Side texture -> Opacity to create outlines around objects:

is there a way to do this in C4D? I've tried experimenting with the Cloth ...

why is World Creator 3 not available except for those who purchased on Black Friday, despite the main OTOY site promising:

all paid Octane subscription tiers starting at just 13.95 €/month (with Black Friday discount), including annual passes to: Greyscalegorilla Plus, LightStage MetaFace scans ...

I've been messing around with creating planets/space environments and comparing using standard spheres vs using customized standard Planetary Environments, and the default Planetary atmosphere settings look better than I've managed to create with volumes/falloff/sphere field settings, etc.

something seems to have broken between C4D and Standalone versions re: Toon shader outlines, a project started in C4D 2022.1 XB1-R3 displays incorrectly in 2022.1 XB2-R1, so I opened it in standalone 2022.1 XB 1 and found that it was completely disregarding all Toon Outline values and adding the ...

is it currently possible or might it be in a future build to create real-world physically-accurate fluorescent materials within Octane?

I've gotten some decent results with adding basic emission to a scattering medium but it obviously then isn't based on the amount/direction of light in a scene ...

it would be great if Octane Studio subcriptions were able to access the new builds, it's a bit odd to be able to use a Standalone version + a C4D version of a build but not be permitted to test the same build in Blender unless we pay an additional $10/mo...

2022.1 XB1 C4D seems to break all my Vectron projects that work in 2021.1.5 R3, and just doesn't want to load Vectron scripts period besides the init sphere. Also, when the compiled Vectron script has a bunch of parameters, it shrinks the code entry window which can't be resized, is that fixable ...

is there any chance of getting the Scatter On Surface node/feature added to the C4D version from Standalone? It exists in Blender so theoretically possible? it seems preferable to the C4D Cloner
