I just bought It and It looks great but I can't find any documentation... Is there any available?

This temporal site has the current HTML docs:

I am working in a final docs site, to be released soon.

Ok, thank you! I did figure out most of the fonctions by studying the sample scenes but I like to understand what I'm doind. Anyway, great plugin, I'm, testing out a few scenes and It's really stable.
Wondering if we'll get acess to a surface preset browser, like the Octane Live...
Gracias para su trabajo!

Great release!

One small thing. I can not change the position of the UVWMap node. Any idea why this is?

Thx in advance .

EDIT: It works when i set values, BUT i can not use the inputs.

In standalone, if I add a float texture node, the assign a colour image, it makes it black nd white. When I do that in the plugin, (float image) it doesn't give me the option to,load an Mage. Am I missing something?

LW way: put a texture node in, load the image there and plug that back into float node.

Just think of it in LW terms.

But float node doesn't have an input. It is just an output, that outputs a value. It can go into power for example, but can't take an input.

BTW, It would be great to have a UV map list to choose from, as there are sometimes multiple maps iin a scene and lightwave doens' let me change copy them into one single map (It messes the maps up, probably a bug)
I was thinking also that beeing able to link the focal point to a null for instance would be a great and fast way to animate dof in a scene.
I'm very pleased with the general behavior of this plugin, really.
