Hi,

( and own a poser version too, even if i use it less since the excellent lightwave version)
I can beta-test this plugin if you wish...
Cheers

I wouldn't mind giving this a test.

My background is pretty well known to some here,
i have been with octane almost since the beginning, making some tutorials (including for maya) for everyone, i have also been using blender since '08 also making a tutorial series for its cycles engine.

Here is my latest project made with blender and octane:

Hi there, i'm an architect visualiser. Right now i have some time for testing, and moreover im very interest in it. It is great news. I have some knowledge in python, i've made MITx certificate in python. Not a big deal, but making some addons for my own.


One of the recent projects i was working with Lionels unofficial plugin:

My website: http://huczynski.com/
(but mostly with blender testing, not a lot of profesional work)

I understand it would be a pleasure for any of Blender-Octane community to give some feedback, and would be good to put hands on it fast :)

Hi, I've been using Blender for more than 6 years doing paid projects with it and octane for about 3 years. Here's my demoreel with some of the projects where I've been using Octane:



And here's the project where I was used Octane render the most:



95% of the movie (1100 vfx shots aprox.) was rendered with Octane Render. I was in charge of the rendering system in that production so I was asked what render engine I would like to use at the beginning of the production and I choiced Octane because I know we could deliver good quality images with decent rendertimes.

Also as a side note I was one of the official beta tester for NVIDIA gelato (one of the first GPU renderers several years ago).

Hi

good to hear that the plugin is finally ready for testing
we are a 3d visualization studio specializing in arch viz
we have lately switched to octane
blender is our only tool for 3d viz, we have 4 GTX 690 cards and 7 octane licenses
in the past 3 months we have rendered around 65000 frames using octane and the unofficial plugin.
we are using render targets, scatter using csv and the new features of version 1.13 and later
feel free to look at http://www.vimeo.com/rwstudios

all the work that you see are done 100% in blender
no octane renders are updated there

below are renders done using blender + octane

most of these are frames from animations
all vegetation and cars in the parking are instances using obj and csv
even the chairs in av room are instances

53 images in total, I know its too much. but thought that i should let the octane team know that we are doing lot of work using the unofficial plugin and are eager to test the integrated plugin

would appreciate an opportunity to test the plugin

Hi Octane Team,

Thank you for the great news. I'm very interested in test it, specially because I have been using blender/octane as my main platform for 3d for architectural visualization.

Here are some of my recent work with blender/octane
