Is the price going to go up because Octane is nearing release...I don't want it to end up being $200US. As a hobbyist that's a lot of cheddar.
I'm still looking forward to the workflow improvements a plugin will offer me though.
Oh and did any new videos get created or are we waiting for launch? Was interested in material editing and how nodes will work.

the most recent video is really awesome. Even though you already showed off some interactive earlier, seeing you remove and add items quickly like that was very impressive. Even more anxious for this to come out.

i'm not yet comfortable to tell an exact date, but we're still aiming for some point before christmas holidays. since it'll be a welcome reason to gift yourself a whole new way to use octane with daz studio, and on the other hand would allow to spend some extra time to dig into it right away

I have a question regarding UberAreaLights. Currently you cannot export an UberAreaLight properly from DS. When you import it into Octane Standalone there is no 'named' texture for it and it ends up in a default node along with any other 'unnamed' textures. In practice it is quite useless. Will your plugin handle this case? Will it automatically convert an area light (including Uber...) into an emitter? It would be nice to be able to use the InaneGlory's Photo Studio light props with the Octane Plugin...
