Hi,

I do have to recommend some future investment into reworking the UI. It feels like octane would benefit greatly from tabbed style where you can pop out the render window to a secondary display. I dont like that i cant utilize my second monitor and it gets pretty cramped on just one display. And plans for this in the future? Im thinking ala Photoshops tabbed windows styles.

When can we have this update ?

[radiance]

In a few weeks, when it's finished...
The next update will have a fair amount of new features, so we're quite busy on it.

Now that there is CUDA 4.0 is this going to throw another wrench into the gears?
It supposedly runs multi gpus better.

[radiance]

we've already tested a build with cuda 4.0 RCs and it works fine,
it did not solve the 3.0 -> 3.2 multi-gpu issue, so development of a rewritten multi-gpu rendering core is still in progress.
