I recently bought Octane Render and have been fooling around with it. It runs perfectly on my machine and I have been enjoying the experience thus far. Kudos to the development team.

While I know that you guys have a lot of more important stuff on your plate, I thought that I would mention a feature that would be a great addition to Octane: 3d mice.

I love my Space Explorer. It allows me to move around a scene, and is particularly useful for perfectly placing cameras in a scene. A 3d mouse combined with Octane Render would be a powerful combination. In your advertising material you mention the interactivity of Octane, and 3d mouse support would be a boost to that interactivity.

Just a thought... :)

we already have a unit and will develop support for 3d navigator products soon, probably after 2.3

+1 000 000 for the Space Navigator. It is just too incredible to be ignored. I find the current navigation to be somewhat cumbersome. Pretty please, Radiance.

Have a nice weekend.

That's great news, Radiance, thank you. Looking forward to that implementation.
