What verison of Plugin is in BF2023 deal ? Tweet

[Lewis]

Hi,

I've noticed OTOY posted some great news about Octane 2024 and Studio+ licence, and they added LightWave3D deal for extended trial period to 60 days with Octane licence?

My Questions are:
- What Octane plugin version is in that deal ?
- Doe sit work with LW 2020 or only next LW 2023 ?
- Is it just old 2020 octane plugin with 2021.1.7 *.dll (to use new GPUs but no new features) or it's finally upgraded Octane plugin for LW ?

Please can someone form OTOY or LightWave Digital give us more info

Thanks

Hi
I was about to post something similar, so Lewis was faster than me.
Please someone from the Otoy staff in charge of Lightwave give us an answer.

Hello,

same here The LightWave Digital team also announced it
for the next release, it would be great to have more infos about this
and the future of Lightwave/Octane.
Cheers

I think that is logical for Otoy to update Octane plugin for Lightwave 2023 and previous version since now Lightwave being back as a 3D production software as other softwares

So i assume as a client since many years i will get an update to the new Octane core

To answer myself, plugin included in LW 2023 (released last night) is Octane 2021.1.7 Prime (so Free 1GPU tier version), which is actually octane 2020.x with core form 2021.1.x but no new features (for LW plugin).

So yes OTOY please upgrade the plugin, we are paying customers also.

Lewis, did you get the LW2023 installed?

I got the Black Friday bundle. Now from Octane site I get to use coupon and re-sent to some Lightwave "Let there be"-site that asks for a password.
What password am I supposed to use? Octane or Lightwave password doesn´t work...

Yes i installed LWv2023 and set my Octane licence but not BF option so not sure what is the password/code.
Sorry
