On the fence about buying this Maya plugin.
Does the latest Octane for Maya support XGEN interactive grooming? What about MASH, is that supported too? I can only find spotty information in the forums regarding this...Thanks

But Octane won't render instancer with a non Octane material : You need to apply an Octane material to the base object BEFORE creating the Mash network............................................................................................works also with Mash and particles.

Just trying out:
Importing, 1 patch of multiple grass leafs, 1 material assigned: No problem renders all good.
Importing, 1 Daisy flower with multiple materials assigned (4 materials assigned in total): Problem, renders nothing. (Switching MASH node from instances to geometry, and all renders ok).

There is no way to import ORBX file (via Maya file import select ORBX? there is no ORBX... There is Octane Render Scene that create this ORBX file) except for the ORBX container that links the ORBX file created. Still there is no material that comes with the imported ORBX file.. (I guess octane materials don't auto-convert to ORBX file when exported as Octane Render Scene)

1. What do you import with ORBX PROXY? (I only have Octane scene option)
2. How do you Export for ORBX PROXY to work?
