Hi Guys.
I`m very glad that you created Modo plugin !
Thank you very much for that, but I have problem. I have AMD cards on my PC so it is question: Will you create Octane for AMD cards? And how long will it take?
How long before Octane will use AMD cards?

No.
Will ati make cards for octane?
No, because they would have to pay their nemesis for the privilege.
Octane runs on cuda; cuda is NVidia; if you want octane, get a card that has the NVidia/cuda mojo.
Will you update to another card that is not ATI?
Yes, if you want to run Octane.

The short answer is no, not until AMD fixes the drivers for their cards at least. Even Blender devs have had to drop AMD support because their drivers are so bad. Lately it appears that AMD has improved the divers a little but they still do not work for large and complex kernels like the ones Octane uses. Even if they get the drivers working it's going to take a lot of work to convert Octane's CUDA kernels to OpenCL kernels, so it's going to be awhile.
