3rd party renderers Indie version

Hello,

I'm a new Houdini user and a bit confused :
this https://home.otoy.com/render/octane-render/purchase/ mention
" The plugin currently doesn’t work in Houdini Apprentice and Houdini Indie because they do not support third party renderers "

while houdini Indie product page itself on sidefx.com website mention :
" you can rely on a built-in physically-based rendering solution called Mantra along with support for a wide variety of third party renderers such as Renderman, Redshift, Arnold and Octane. "

Which is right, which is wrong ?

Thanks,
++

Hi,

Sorry, this is a mistake in the Otoy web page. The Octane plugin can work in Houdini Indie since Houdini 15.5. The only restrictions are the render resolution while rendering sequences (limited to 1080p) and the scene export and cloud features, that are disabled.

I'll report to the Otoy web team this mistake to fix it.

Thanks,
-Juanjo
