Which feature do you need the most?

[Garrick]

A bridge to zbrush, like they have for keyshot. This would bring a lot of users to octane.

[Synthercat]

Volumetric light

"what does lightcache do? is it something like highlight compression?"

From chaosgroup (vray) "...light caching is similar in speed to the photon map and can produce approximations to the global lighting in a scene very quickly. In addition, the light cache can be used successfully for adding GI effects to animations...."
It could certainly help a lot to decrease the noise in interior rendering.

I realy would love uv baking. For light and also for textures.

The list is all worked through with OR3, right? That's so awesome!

[rappet]

Should the poll not be setup again (or start new thread) without the features that in the meanwhile are already integrated?
Cheers,

This is a bright idea.

Still is

When are the render slave licenses that Otoy said they are working on going to be available. I havent heard anything for a long time and now with Octane 3 coming out we will need to upgrade all our licenses including slaves.

I'd like to imagine that by the time Octane 3 is released and available for purchase, the network render licensing will be figured out.

Hiya,

I'd like a check box in shader that would allow mask per material.
I don't mean per object, I mean per material.

I had something like that in SI until they killed it.

That is our plan. OpenCL CPU nodes already change things as was mentioned in the GTC talk. We need to see how things work once we get closer to final release or v3.
