Enjoying using this amazingly fast and accurate product but the limtation of daylight transmission though glass using direct lighting (pathtracing is slow and full of fire flies) remains a stumbling block for archviz work. It would be a great help if this is finally implimented. I've seen an interior daylight simulation scene created in octane - not sure how that was done... (no glass in opes?)
I think I saw a previous post where this was planned for beta R2.3. Refractive, any more accurate idea of when this may become a reality (no pun intended)?
Thanks!

Yes, when the new render kernel is available. Until then please use pre-beta 2.43 and read those two threads for a workaround:Seekerfinder wrote:Enjoying using this amazingly fast and accurate product but the limtation of daylight transmission though glass using direct lighting (pathtracing is slow and full of fire flies) remains a stumbling block for archviz work.

Thanks for the reply, Marcus. I've seen both those posts in searching for workarounds. As I said though, it's pathtracing with long waiting time & loads of fire flies.
I think I have v2.4, not 2.43 yet. I'll install & see if there's a diff.
'When the render kernel is ready'... roughly translated into 'it'll be ready when it's ready'? That's ok off course, I just hoped for even a rough timeframe to know when I can introduce Octane into the office workflow for interiors. And if there's any point in adding my voice to those that also see this as a feature priority, let this be it then.
