The ability to be able to focus the effect on just the brightest pixels in the image gives a much more realistic result.

Can we get a 'reload geometry' button on FBX nodes in Octane Standalone (v3) ? I'm now exporting FBX and it's a pain to test...

i'm new to Octane so only most important)

1) be able to pass geo data (attribs) to octane - i know that houdini is light years ahead of any software on the market in terms of passing and using data, but even there i have to use uvs to sample textures (on discs or generated on the fly in COPs) and use some attribs in Octane. it's... ridiculous.
2) some packed geo -> instance implicit conversion + delayed load procedural support (houdini plugin)
3) disc primitive for points, curve primitive (tube, strand)
4) volumes - be able to sample parameters of the shader from a field. i would appreciate having checkbox with "Slows down your render considerably" instead of "not implemented for perfomance reasons" hint in manual.
special cases:
- vector field to color density field
- 2 scalar fields for density and emission (heat and temperature)
5) nested dielectrics

That's music to my ears (that's if your reply was in answer to my bloom threshold request).

Any idea if this will be in Octane 4 or 2018 ?

Thanks

Any chance to have an octane 4.0x version to get issues solved and have minor improvements and new features ?? I need a new pass : a normal volume pass to get lighting in game engine with sprite sheets from fire/ smoke effect ...

We are focusing heavily on Houdini features and support with v2018.1+

4.01 is nearly done, but all new features are going into 2018.1 (see post above), and 2019.x
