Can't believe the addon is finally here, going to play around with it more later today. So far, loading in my old scenes or even importing characters crashes to desktop instantly.

Edit: Seems like there has been some node changes since I've last used Octane last summer. Guess the image node has changed? Is there a way to convert these somehow? It's going to be a major pain in the ass to manually do this.
Edit 2: Still struggling with Blender's particle hair, which is why I ultimately couldn't use Octane for my current project. I can't get it to render hair curves at all, which is probably just an error on my part.
Create plane, add curves>fur, set to use Octane Hair Radius. Hit render, hair doesn't show and the UI gets this visual artifact until I turn render off.
