Changes since version 14.3:

• Implemented the Ornatrix support in the first draft. Please report if you got issues with this new feature (with your scene attached).

Note: Ornatrix is supported by OctaneRender in Maya 2018 only: if Ephere supplies us by the SDK compatible with the older Maya versions, the support of them will be implemented too. The feature is available for OSX and Windows versions at this stage, the Linux version will catch up later.

Good news from Ephere.
I've just got the answer from them: they have agreed that their SDK has this older Maya versions incompatibility problem. They have just told me that they are going to fix this issue and send me the fixed SDK as soon as it is ready.
So, the support of Ornatrix by OctaneRender in the rest of the older Maya versions will follow later, after I get the fixed SDK from them.

When is Bifrost being implemented?
