This is fantastic, thanks! My only suggestions thus far:

Anyway to make the helper panel persisting if desired?

Multi-monitor support? I have several monitors but the helper window will not scroll onto them past the main Blender window.

I would personally find it easier to use if DOF and Distortion panels were combined.

Not sure if it's in the scope of the plugin, or if it's more requests for the main octane plugin but here are my 2 :

- Add a viewport popout option that doesn't require the main view port to be set to rendering mode? It makes working on layouts really easy when you can still use the main viewport for layout - especially on dual monitor setup as you can have octane on the 2nd display.

- Have the render options accessible on the toolbar of the octane view port as that's much faster than scrolling through options on the side of the screen.

Screenshot from Modo attached. The Modo octane plugin is really good and I would love to see blender plugin get the same treatment.

Those are definitely feature request not related to the Octane Helper addon.
We already have plans for making the Octane Viewport and its features more "central" to the workflow. It will happen in the future.

Wondering if this addon will be updated for the latest build. It's such a convenient addon to have when using octane in blender.

We'll need to ask the developer about this.

For me the Github link still works. I wonder if this still works with the latest releases though. A lot has changed.
