Where can I download the LW plugin demo?
The link takes me to the normal octane demo??
And the official launch page says : 'A demo version will be available shortly.'

hiya, you're at the right page (http://render.otoy.com/downloads.php) you just have to scroll down a bit to the section for the integrated plugins. The LightWave demo has its own tab in that section... cheers

Yes, you can download a demo from this point in the downloads page.

Hi,

any plans on updating the demo to the latest Build? I am using the demo version on a second machine for previews and tweaking scenes while the licensed machine is rendering. A huge time saver for a freelancer like me. But the demo lacks some features, e.g. scene update only for enabled obj's. When i set this parameter in the licensed version, then open the scene with the demo version to make some changes and open it again with the licensed version, the parameter is not set anymore. This causes issues when having many objects in the scene.

It's am fully aware that the demo version is NOT intended for production.

From the perspective of a LightWave user who is interested in testing the plugin it is a bit disappointing. Why not showing him the whole potential of the plugin? The demo build is from 2014.

Anyway ... great plugin Juanjo!

Yes, I want to update the demo version as soon as possible. I am waiting for the final demo versions of the 2.2x Octane API.
