Octane with Blender Compositor

Does anyone know if it is possible to run the Octane rendered image through the compositor before Blender saves it?

I am doing an animation and can't do this in Photoshop for every frame

I don't think that will work, at least that is not how I remember the work flow when I did some compositing a while ago. Until the plugin is ready Octane will save the image before Blender can get a hold of it. Then you will have to load the image or animation into Blender's compositor to do more work on it.

It seems like blender grabes the render after every frame. I had it in there, even got it in the compositor, set it up like I would a normal Blender render, thinking it would grab the render, composite and save. But it didn't.
Maybe this is a possible addition for the plugin?

I would hope so. :) I'm not a Blender master by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe the export scripts can be fixed for this as well?

I don't see any big problems with running compositing process after the rendering — just use rendered sequence as an input in your compositing node scheme.

Anyway I think that we just have to wait a bit for the official integration — it seems to be much more flexible. ;)

I tried using the rendered sequence, couldnt get it to work, maybe I'll have to look up a tut.
And ya, I am eagerly awaiting the integrated plugin, but, honestly, I wouldnt be surprised if it was 6 months till open beta.
