Hi,
I look forwared to all the features that are necessary for renderer to be called mature - like instances, motion blur, SSS, indirect light through glass, no bugs and all the basic features, so final release can come. But I would like to know WHETHER and WHEN are other "additional" features ...

1) grass/fur shader
2) instances
3) glow, bloom - real lens behaviour with light

And glare and bloom.

Wow, this is wonderful. Thanks. I hope that there will once be this kind of shader in Octane. As far as I know, no other unbiased render (Maxwell, Indigo, Luxrender, Arion) have hair/fur/grass shader. Many of us have to find workaround via other sw and i/o, ram etc. issues and Octane could have big ...

Beautiful render!

Hi bepeg4d,
it is good to know that octane support C4D hair without any ...

hi mayan,

good news is that there's an upcoming version of octane that is capable of instancing.
bad news is that we don't know when that version is due.

Hi Colin,
I look forward to instancing, I use instances in C4D with VrayforC4D heavily for trees. But back to Sketchup -> Octane. I cannot ...

Hi, I am very new to Octane, I didnt even run it till now because I wait for new GFX card. I just try to know as much as I can from this website and forum.
