Make it in post
Render out a black/white image from the object you want to blur with your 3d app and use that as a mask in photoshop or wherever.
You can also render out a motion vector pass with your 3d app and use a compositing software...

I think a useful feature that-be do not clutter up over online library

Nice:) I just started modeling my scene for competition so hopefully I'll finish it just in time and render it with new cool release of octane. Yeah!

Very good news, indeed ! I was going to ask about alpha shadows, because I need them in the project I am working on for the competition, and the answer comes first !

Thank you Refractive team !

if you can pls implement scale option for render viewport so we can scale image to 25%/50% and so on if image is larger then viewport.
also, i didnt have time to search the forum yet, are you aware of black border bug in 2.3 beta? i'm talking about this http://i.imgur.com/EwhsS.jpg
notice black border on the right side of the picture. it appears only on some resolutions. is that fixed/will it be fixed in 2.4?

tHAT'S GREAT NEWS!!!
Hey Radiance, as you said 3.2 cuda is not going to take advantage of the multigpu, bu8t my question is, Is there any possitive side, along with the fact that will use all gtx460 cores, that will make cuda 3.2 version of octane any better than 3.0?Thanx

Holding alt while scrolling with mouse wheel over the viewport scales viewport. It has been already implemented while ago.

EDIT

One should hold ctrl instead of alt when scrolling over viewport to scale it.

i had no idea, thanks

thanks, that made my day!
alpha output, chromatic aberration, lens shift.... that`s three times: hot!

But sadly I have to go with the cuda 3.0 release for version 2.4
But hey, 4-6 extra weeks for adding Multi GPU support on all available cores? (672 cores for double GTX460). I will wait & count on you guys! Go on!

Two more wishes for the 2.5:
- merging multiple obj´s directly in octane would be great. For example, if you want to add an additional tree to an exterior without exporting the whole scene again.
- Object axis with simple move/scale/rotate modes. Sometimes I need to move a tree just a few meters around, would be great to perform this simple task directly in octane.

Best,
