Love this - Glad to see Octane being used for a wide variety of styles. Reminds me of Mr Benn & other old tv shows I watched as a child.

Very nice! Are there any other settings to pay attention to? I can't seem to get the fine detail within the shape like you have...(used the same numbers as you've shown in your screenshot)

Hi all, just purchased my license today..

-load plugin, authenticated
-I could create shapes, add a sun/sky light
-add Octane ...

Hi Jimstar - what is the particle instancing support like with the Maya plugin?

That makes sense -I don't suppose there's an ETA on a Maya demo? Oh - and unfortunately the machine I'll be getting has Kepler cards in it, I hope there's a Kepler friendly build for Maya users?
What is the support like for maya procedural textures/utility nodes - such as the Ramp, noise or ...
