OTOY Forums

Yeah it is a bit off topic, a good mix of people are exploring Octane ATM and stuff is a bit jumbled and spontaneous, no real harm done.
I am not sure how they want to organise everthing here for the long term.
There will be a good many users who have special interests: architects, industrial designers, engineers, jewellers, cg artists...etc..
Perhaps there should be a separate forum for each main group aside from the General Discussion just to keep everything tidy and make it easy to find topics/info related to a particular users special field.
Lets put this discussion on hold until the site admin/mods have seen these last few posts and decided what they want to do and then we can relocate.
