This feature is mainly a workaround for the fact that render target settings are not currently saved in the .car file. All geometry and related materials (including octane materials) are saved in the .car file.

That said, a full export of a scene is planned and will be available before release. No promises on any kind of importer though. I think that a material importer might be possible so you can round-trip with the standalone but this will depend on whether or not materials can be mapped back to their original geometry.

Thanks for the response and explanation. I'm really looking forward to the plugin.

I second that.

I have a number of test scenes waiting which should be useful for everyone when the beta version is released. All the scenes feature heavy replication and lots of objects.

Thanks sighman. Will look forward to the update.

I've completed my Ennis house model now (The Frank Lloyd Wright home in L.A.used in Blade Runner), which will be a great test of how Octane for Carrara will handle replication.
