:evil: So...what do we have here....
A new plugin....for...
UNITY...

UNITY! UNITY!
U-N-I-T-Y!
Unifying together the great world of Octane Render with...
Gamers...
GAMERS...
GAMERS??????????!!!!!!

Are you ready? Are you ready to share your posts and threads with...
Gamers?

Can you see it now? You will be discussing luminance, caustics, watercooling, proper shading accuracy, GPU, etc....
and your thread will be subverted to:
"UNITY is so much better than Unreal Engine"...."SHUT UP!!!....XBOX One DESTROYS PS4".... "That render looks SO Gay"..."My GPU kicks yours's ass, so re-spawn someplace else and be Butt-Hurt there..." "You just got OWNED by my animation"....
"You still can't render like I can??? NOOB !!!!"

But wait...
Jut wait....

If Gamers are going to be in our threads, this can only mean one thing....

Traditional 'Octane Renderers', as a digital media producers, are going to now be posting in THEIR forums!.....

This means the Octane crowd - the most pompous, arrogant, stubborn, higher-than-thou, fussy, obnoxiously self-indulged, self-righteous, and self-important force that has ever graced the internet - will be in their threads!
In their threads asking, "Why does this reflection working this way? How come Unity is having the lighting work like this when it could be like that? What's the timeline ETA and roadmap for these updates coming our way?.... Where is the node for this? Where is the option to do that?.. How do I import all my other projects into this Unity one? Why is my LUA script not working properly in this Unity version?...
When are UNITY developers going to fix this....
Why can't UNITY be more like 3DS Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, Sketchup, Daz Studio, Lightwave, Houdini...etc...?
Why is UNITY not working the way I wish it would?...
Why is UNITY disappointing me still?....

YESSSSSSSS.....

So, anywhere, at any given time, you can rest assured there will be the Octane Renderer you know and love, now tormenting them endlessly....

Sleep well Octane Renderers...
Sleep well....

So, what is the deal now with Volta....
They just went to Turing all the sudden and are comparing it to Pascal.

Was Volta just a rebound card?...

Like...Titan 'One-Night-Stand' V?...

:twisted:
I love watching tutorials online about Octane, many teach really amazing techniques and give great new insights into using Octane :P

But....
Do you notice one theme in most of these videos? :?:

They are ALL C4D plugin....
okay....like, WTF....

What about those of us who don't use, or are less familiar with C4D...
Like say, using Daz, Maya, and 3DS Max....
or, the STANDALONE...
It's like Come on!....
Damn it...!

And then!
Then...
The ones I am really really interested in...
Are in another language....
That I DON'T KNOW...
and there's no subtitles...

F$%#!

But okay, so, you could say:
"Well, just mute the sound and watch the video, and you'll pick up what they are doing..."
:)
Right?

WRONG!!!-
It's C4D remember?!!

So, I have to run 2 translations:
1) a UI translation to visually follow the tutorial
2) a language translation to audibly understand what the F%^$ they just did and why....
