Relative simple...
I export the obj, playing with settings and save the ocs. Because, if Octane crashed, i have a backup.
Render, save image, export new obj with the same name, reload it in Octan, render again...

Yes, i thing so ;)
But, switch to next frame, generate the mesh from the ICE pointcloud, export and saving is just on click in Softimage.
Alltogether also 4 single and one double click per frame ;)

are you able to create some sort of batch OBJ exporter script in softimage that also exports camera position etc as command flags ?

I code in c++ with the Softimage SDK, i think, it would be not the problem. But only under Windows...

Time is relative ;)
Scaling and sizing is not very complex. When you have access to the parameters, you must only multiplicate it with the vectors.
Max 10 lines of code...
I have 2011 ;)
For 7.x there are a plugin with the name mt_static_instancer from Helge Mathee, an earlyer software engineer from Softimage.

Another plugin, similar to mt_static_instancer. Work with 2010.

And little remark: ICE is not plugin for Softimage, it is a part of Softimage. ;)
