I'm trying out the new feature which allows me to use the 'T' texture in the sufrace editor however I'm unsure how to connect it.

Any help on this greatly appreciated.

You only need to connect the UVMAP node to the normal input of the root surface node editor, set the map type to "Lightwave T color layer", and setup the texture projection in the "T" color layer of the surface.

Aha! great...thank you.

Really nice feature to now be able to select UV map in octane :)

Btw are there future updates planned or is that it for the time being?

Thanks again.

Of course there are a lot of new features in the road map, but they are going to be added while updating the plugin to the new Octane 1.5 ;)

Teh UV node is for objects that do not have an existing UV. If you're object has one (which it looks like that does), you don't use it.
