Hi
I got a question about importing and render particles into Octane.
Is it possible export and render a particles animation?
Have someone tried?
Cheers
Marco

Octane can´t handle pointclouds. Replace each point with a smal cube/cone/sphere will help you...

Hi mayaboy,
(as face just posted right before me
), as long as you can instance the particles with geometry (spheres or whatever) is doable, and has been done:

that coupled with the new animation scripts is all you should need...

Looks really promising
Do you know if exist somewhere a proper stress test with rendertime?
Cheers

If by that you mean a benchmark scene, check it out (and post!) here:

Not sure what are the demo limitations though, not sure you'll be able to execute this...
