This update is a freakin' thing of beauty!!... great new features and tweaks!
And if any of you numerous "guests" that I keep seeing in this OctaneLW thread are
debating getting this plug (and/or standalone), you are missing out on quite a lot...
and will be doing yourself a major disservice if you do not snag it at this beta price -
but even at full price (and beyond) this is some of the best money you will likely spend
any time soon.
Edit: Like many of you, I have quite a stash of HDRI's - both free and commercial...
but many times have found myself making do with "close enough"... never again...
I just made a custom spherical map in under one hour - a cul de sac with 4 nice
houses, instanced grass and many trees - and was able to tailor this to exactly
what I needed... I swear - this is like a m-f-ing dream come true... I shit you not -
this almost brings a tear to my eye.
