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

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.
