title says it all. I had it working in the past but all of a sudden I can't get it working. I'm in maya 2014 and on the latest version of Octane. I think the last time I had it working was on an older plugin version so maybe something got borken in the newer one? or maybe i just forgot how to do it. anyways, some help is muchly appreciated.

thanks man. I was doing that but it didn't seem to affect anything. maybe my scale is off or my scene is just acting funky or something. i'll do a new scene and double check everything. thanks

Oh, right...yes, Octane scale should be set to 0.01 if you work in Maya's default centimeter units. DOF will definitely be wrong if you don't.
