Blender 2.8 is still beta. The plans for integrating it are after it is officially released.
Nice! Will we then get access to the current code on git? Or is there another/more up to date place for the code already?linograndiotoy wrote:Octane integration into Blender 2.8 will start before the official release, so we can have it ready and tested as Blender 2.8 will be officially released.J.C wrote:If you are license owner I think you can ask Otoy for Blender's code.

Lino, at this point, I honestly feel like I could chew my way through a brick wall to get to my Octane Blender 2.8... Please, if it is humanly possible to get Octane Blender 2.8 in our hands earlier than the official release, this would rock, regardless of bugs.linograndiotoy wrote:Octane integration into Blender 2.8 will start before the official release, so we can have it ready and tested as Blender 2.8 will be officially released.J.C wrote:If you are license owner I think you can ask Otoy for Blender's code.

So Lino, it has been a while and Blender 2.8 is pretty dang stable these days... In regards to our first 2.8 release, what do you think we are looking at?.. Days? Weeks? And is it going to be at the top of the Releases page when it is released?linograndiotoy wrote:I think that's going to happen. We just need some more patience.

Sorry to be a spazz Lino (Azen, whoever..), but really, having a guesstimate on when the first Octane Blender 2.8 is coming would make a huge difference for this dilemma I find myself in... A client just dumped a 20-animation gig on me, which are all small simple industrial animations that I would feel very confident being able to bang out - with no problems - in even a first beta version of Octane Blender 2.8. Since this would be the perfect gig to make the transition from LW to Blender, I am very anxious to get it asafp. But I will need to make a decision pretty soon if I am going to do this entire gig in Blender 2.8 or LW. They will need total consistency and share assets and whatnot, so I can't do half in each. If you have any measure of confidence that 2.8 may very well be coming in the next few weeks, I could start getting things set up and building animations etc. But if you know for certain that 2.8 is definitely more than three weeks out, I would have no choice but to do this entire gig in LW...
I have played with Octane in 2.79 a wee bit, but 2.79 (yuck) is such a different beast than 2.8, which I have been learning exclusively, and staying the hell away 2.79 as much as possible because I simply can't work in both while learning 2.8.
I tried so hard to exhibit the patience you asked for... Please understand Lino (or anyone else reading this) that the forthcoming Octane Blender 2.8 is truly a special situation, and I will not be pestering you or anyone else about future versions. I am a professional, and try to conduct myself as such, but I just couldn't keep my pie-hole shut in this case, because of this kick-ass opportunity to start working in Octane Blender 2.8 in such a perfect-fit scenario, and the profound difference this could make for me personally.
Please advise. Thanks bro!

I don't think the very first internal Octane for Blender 2.8 build will be available before 3 weeks.
