As in the (cut-off) Title.

Using the search here, I found a user having a problem with the Panoramic camera not being supported by Daz.
I've been using the free Poser-Octance plugin from the render the metaverse Octane-VR promo... and it Does support stereoscopic panoramic camera

So before I spend on the Daz plugin and Octance standalone:

1) Does the Daz Plugin support the Octane Panoramic camera? (as transparently as the poser-octance solution).I don't have time to learn Lua or the native Octance Standalone interface.
2) Does it do proper stereoscopic via Daz?

Answers will help me cement my purchase within the next few hours.
Kind Regards.

no, it does not. you need to export to standalone. That is what I had to do.

Another user did a test where they imported a ORBX file that had a panoramic camera into daz. Got an error message.

It's not a big deal for stills, I haven't used the standalone in years, but just changing the main camera to a panoramic one is painless. Video rendering on the other hand...no advice there.
