I see what you mean, and I think that when Octane will be mature enough, such possibilities and demands will arise. But I think I can safely say that this is not gonna happen in the near future (<1 year). The team also lacks developers & founding to pull off such a feat in the short term. We shouldn't demand too much (atleast for now
). As you said; let's see how things develop over time. This probably answers the original question of the thread.
As for the GUI, Octane just needs some tools to ease last minute scene composition (moving, deleting, adding objects... cameras, etc), not a complete modelling support.
It would be nice to see some charts which are the most used packages with Octane (Max is probably the first) - because I would be pretty pissed if Blender wouldn't get into those major 3 - 4 that would get integration
, as would users of other software. So, when the devs will plan this, they better take into account all of us, if they don't want any angry-jealous zombie hordes around...
