Octane research Tweet

Hi,
I am working for a scientific company based in London and I have been given a task to look for alternative renderer for our company.
We are currently using Vray and 3ds Max. Vray is well implemented in 3ds Max so in order to switch to another renderer I will need some things to be working as are working with Vray.
1. Where do I find a light target option or is it going to be added if it is missing?
2. Is it possible to get a light lister? (Basically spreadsheet with light in a scene and parameters).
3. Great job on supporting TyFlow! We also use Thinkbox frost. Is instancing going to be possible in Thinkbox frost?
4. Do you have support for RTX or are you going to implement it in near future?
5. Houdini has Octane 2020 with Spectron lights that makes rendering even faster is that version going to be released any time soon?

Thank you.

Could you share (in pm) a sample file to test it?

4. Do you have support for RTX or are you going to implement it in near future?
Octane v2020 supports RTX accelleration hardware

5. Houdini has Octane 2020 with Spectron lights that makes rendering even faster is that version going to be released any time soon?
Developers will introduce it on the next future.

Paride, you know damn well that those links aren't anything close to a light lister. Next time, just say "no".

Hi Dartfrog,
I don't know his precise workflow, so I choose to give any information that could help users.
