Hello all,
It has taken quite some time, but we are getting closer to the point of being able to release OctaneRender 3.08. This, in turn, means that we will then be able to finally put out our new Release Candidate of OctaneRender for Sketchup.
OctaneRender 3.08 will contain critical updates, without which we could not progress any further in development. In addition to these critical internal updates, this new version will also feature support for Sketchup 2018, the ability to change the default material type that SU Native materials are automatically converted to - and new features specific to OctaneRender 3.08.
Two things - the plugin will go through a round of internal testing, and 3.08 will go through some final validation stages before being released (naturally, it would make no sense to release a 3.08 plugin until OctaneRender 3.08 is released first).
This 3.08 update was a while in coming, and we are glad to be able to provide an affirmative progress report on the direction of the plugin. Apologies for the extended wait.
Cheers,
Azen
