Please add night system

Would be nice if octane can add moon and stars that you can control like size, position, brightness. I know you can use sun but it does not look real because it is still the sun.
Also cloud generation even game engine like unreal have instant cloud generator that look photo real and don't slowdown the system like e-on ozone 6

Hopefully octane 4 and brigade will start introducing all these

For the moon, basically it's just the current Sun/Sky system with a map of star plug as a sky texture and some tweak on the sun. You have to change the color of the sun by changing the Sunset color.

What can be better would be a HDRI generator like we can have with Keyshot. Where you have a bank of light shapes and stuff that you can place on a 2D representation of the hdri. If you have a picture that you use as sky texture and want to place the sundirection on the same position than the photo it will be easier.

For the clouds it would be great for sure but I don't think that Octane will become a Terrain software :/

I asked about it a long time ago. desired function so as a normal night HDRS nowhere else

i still thin that future renderers will compete so much that they will have to add clouds etc besides a basic day light system

You can make your own sky-rig, I do it all the time... but yes, it would be confortable to set automaticly a plane for clouds in the environment node.
