OTOY Forums

Hi, in Itoo forum we can read :
"Hi, i'm afraid nothing has changed since my latest post. Octane doesn't include a SDK for third-party plugins, so the engine is completely closed for us.
Only Otoy can implement the instancing support for RailClone, in a similar way they did with Forest. "
Do you plan to make something to solve this problem ?
Thanks

ok, the answer is no....

Hi HHbomb,
there's no guarantee the answer is no, but I do not think RC is in the top SDK developer list right now.
I personally am not sure SDK needs changes to work with RC.
Let's figure out about that.

It should be on top baucse it is the No.1 plugin for parametric assets in 3ds max. So many things can be done beside walls, roofs and other daily things. It is as important as ForestPackPro in my opinion. I use it daily.

Hi Paride,
any news on railclone. It's been years and it still clones objects as copy and not instance in octane Thanks

I think the folks at Otoy don't have these things as a priority ... they are things that folks who use Vray / Corona think before buying Octane ... like me: P

The Material Converts too, of course, will always have to fix the material after converting ... but at least they could have one that really helped.

This is priority, now. And devs will take a better look into this ASAP.

how do you know they will?

Can I use Railclone 4 like I use Forest Pack Pro? It seems the RC instances are working different.
