Couldn't the Rhino-reload-event be used to trigger Octane reload of the env map?

My best guess is that Rhino is not firing the "environment changed" event. If the event was being fired, the Octane plugin would be reloading the Rhino environment.

VfR in RT mode is using the live connection where a new HDRI file written at a temporary directory. A support of this would be the best way. But if it's no easy done, than I understand your restraint.

I think doing this would be incompatible with the HDRLS Rhino connection. I have implemented the live connection to HDR Light Studio in a number of other Octane plugins, but that will not work when the HDRLS Rhino connection is made available - since it uses a difference method to provide the HDR map (a bitmap rather than a file) - so I'd rather stick with the method recommended by McNeel than implement a hack - sorry.

Thank you, I ask at the Rhino forum for a better Rhino-Octane connection.
