Dear Elvissuperstar007,
I wish your optimism gets true and we have a great compability with octane.
I just read the whole post and I think I'm still correct on my marks...
It's not just compability problem. That's purely depending on Octane's noisy renders.
Also for example octane still does not support (UV)W mapping. Meaning you cannot change color or reflective attributes of the hair Root - to - Tip. Unless you change the hair to mesh in Ornatrix. Like Rikk The Gaijin did in
https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=56140And I have asked for these maybe 3 years ago.
And now we have an unknown brand new developer for max...
I'm just saying that you and I will have to wait a lot longer to get this request.
Good luck.
