The tutorial is available in both German and English.
It covers the Blender Exporter 1.2 and mentions the most common error messages. There also is a brief overview over the Octane UI and problems that you might run into.

Also there is a new one coming on how to render that praying mantis with suitable materials, so be sure to check again next week.

Hi
Did I miss something? I have the Beta 2.52 and I did not see any SSS settings. The SSS Orange Juice looks like glass.
