Hi kudim, right now all our resources are on preparing a major update to the plugin, which will improve workflow dramatically. Once ready we will pass it on to our internal tester, and fix any issues that arise.
Some of this workflow upgrade actually depends on Octane core changes, which makes the process more complicated (and rigorous), as any changes to core also affect all other plugins.
Once we have some more clear estimates, we will post an update in the forum. CC is currently making the material node graph persistent, so that we can reuse Octane standalone components (which are high quality and fully featured) directly inside the sketchup plugin. Our goal is to end up with what looks like Octane Standalone, running directly inside the Sketchup plugin.
