Having a hard time

[abstrax]

Thank you all for your help, it is much appreciated. But, I have been down this route before, years ago with the ill fated Electric Image modeler and then with Maxwell. I just don't have the patience or time for Beta software and all the trials and testing that it entails. I think that Octane is a long way from production ready. Undoubtedly it will be one day and will probably be a great tool to have. I'll drop by periodically and see how it goes. But for now I have work to do and although it's glacially slow Maxwell get's it done for me.

Cheers, and best to all...

Fair enough. There is a reason why Octane is a beta version at the moment and why the C4D to Octane exporter has version number 0.02

Cheers,

just have a couple of weeks of patience until the C4D exporter is done, then it's push the button and play.

I think that besides all the current limitations that you point out octane can be added to a production pipeline as long as you know those. I have used it for professional jobs just fine if the job was suited for it, and as octane grows so it grows the range of jobs I'll be using it in.
If I want to go downtown for coffe with a friend I would not use an airplane to get there, it would be useless and the jetlagg wouldn't go along with my latte.
