It's a high priority for us. We'd like to see standalone use these tools to become a more powerful VR and scene composition system.

It's taken some time, but we now have a small but growing team at OTOY dedicated to working on extensions to the SE for authoring and scene editing.
Part of this work is also preparing how SE will be implemented with OctaneEngine coming out the same time as 3.1 (which is also foundation for Octane 4 next year), since the new API is a network stream, not a library or binary.
To that end, we are 50% done rebuilding the entire SE UX in HTML5 which will connect to OctaneEngine and give you the same experience as the app today, but much more flexible. We are adding this in ORC web desktop to allow you edit an ocs in the browser without need to run all of Octane.

I fully agree. Your answer is perfect in every point!!itsallgoode9 wrote:not having a gizmo is like trying to use a computer without a mouse, or drive a car without a steering wheel. I honestly can't believe that we are still talking about this.

It ables you to manage complex scenes, with infinite combinations.
Try working in a big team with a big project, 30 cameras with different enviroments, many people modelling, making scatter nodes, etc...Syd_86 wrote:Hello!manalokos wrote:The Standalone is far more powerful!

The Standalone is far more powerful?... Could you explain the advantage of the standalone version?
If so, already from version 2 it should be added to the gizmo.
The itsallgoode9 answer, this is the correct answer.
Yes!......maybe, one day..glimpse wrote:Standalone is usefull & very powerful tool..but a lot of Guys do not even touch.. & it will remain so untill friendlyness is going to change..Gizmos & small thigns like that are important & if OTOY wish to have more feedback or more of the comunity to use leverage it we do need those little changes. However I do understand priorities & seems other things do overshadow those little things..at least now =) maybe, one day..
