on ver 4 should I upgrade?

[lightboy]

2018 has had a couple builds now is it stable?
As I'm still on version 4 is there a benefit to me upgrading?
Is 2018 a lot faster? I have a big project that I need to render out so if 2018 is faster and stable I should properly upgrade.

So if I upgrade to enterprise I get a permanent license for modo and can use any other plugin as long as I'm current.
Is that correct?
Thanks

Hi Keith

Yes, the 2018 is stable, and a 2019 build will be available shortly which contains a number of features to speed up rendering, so I think it is worth upgrading.

Thanks

hi face off,

if you dont mind me jumping into this thread as a c4d user, i have to ask which precisely aspects will be improved upon? and when will 2019.1 drop?
i was thrawling the forums but its difficult finding answers.

all in all, to whom it may concern, my experience with 2018.1.3 is really extremely underwhelming.
i bought into the sub, despite the confusing rollout, mostly because i got errors with the older version and had to infact upgrade to finish the job.

the volumetric speed that i see boasted about is nonexistant in my case.
the vectron is a) gimmick at this point b) unstable gimmick at that.
spectron is from all ive seen limited to spotlight?

i do get less crashes but that is about it.
infact let me go and vent somewhere else.

cheers,

The Octane Standalone 2019.1 beta is available for download, so check that thread for details on the changes that have been made.

Thanks
