Octane 2027 Roadmap and Beyond

[Elvissuperstar007]

OTOY team,
Please add to Octane 2027:

One-click AI face fix for all people (same as V-Ray 7 Neural Face Restoration).
Let me load my own face photos and turn on replacement: Octane detects heads and swaps in my photos, keeping angle, lighting and shadows.

Everything must run fully locally on the user’s GPU (RTX 20-series and up), no cloud, no noticeable slowdown. Modern cards handle this easily — already proven in V-Ray 7 and D5 Render.
Thanks.

That sample gaussian splat of the vase didn't have highlights that moved. It was just baked in. Will the final version have the moving highlights and roughness that is the core feature of GS?

What an awesome list of things.
Some of them being promised for many years now.
Hope half of them don't get forgotten along the way like polarized filter and parallax bump/displacement.
Regards,

Very cool roadmap, thanks for your hard work.
Feature that are still missing that i would love to have :
- True instance attribute support like said previously
- Multiple cnvironment Light that can be light linked to a set of object
- True Phantom / Matte object workflow without relying on render layer or hacks
Cheers
