The script in question was really a very hacky thing.. I unfortunately also don't have the scene anymore.

Thanks for the response you two.

I've not been listening so close to the Octane Render forums for a few years now and since a lot has changed I have a few questions:

1. Octane Render 3 seems to be coming out this year I'd imagine. Any idea on how far away it is?
2. Will there be upgrade pricing for 1.x customers to upgrade to 3.x?

Train smoke does sound like Arun exercise, though are you actually planning on using Real Flow to simulate the smoke?

I've got a fairly nice looking mesh now. You can have a look at it here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/900 ... _00110.zip

That is insanely fast!

I had made a few tests in Real Flow in getting a good looking, proper smooth mesh. I will have another try in getting a mesh for you.

Nice work!

Thanks everyone!

I am barely able to render the scene with a few tabs opened in Chrome, plus a few other applications like Skype ...

I made a short test animation using particles simulated in Real Flow, exported to Octane Render for instancing using a little program I made.

The particles are instances, which is the only reason I think why it's possible to have more than a million spheres without my GTX 570 running out of memory ...

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the Modo renderer biased? If so it's like comparing Maxwell Render to Mental Ray.

Edit: Ah havensole you beat me
