OctaneRender™ 3.0 for LightWave™ - Production build 3.08.2.0 Tweet

[juanjgon]

Hi! This is the latest production build of the OctaneRender™ 3.0 for LightWave™ plugin version 3.08.2.0, available for LightWave 10.1, 11.6, 2015.3 and 2018.0 Windows x64 and OSX. This build is compiled using the Octane 3.08.2 core.

Notes:
- Since we have to use CUDA toolkit 9.1 for that, you may have to update your graphics driver.
- The Windows plugin is now compiled using Visual Studio 2015. If you have problems to add the plugin to the Layout, try again after installing the Visual C++ 2015 redistributable package: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/downloa ... x?id=53840
