OTOY Forums

For all the unfortunate guys, who dont own MAX/XSI for LivePlugin, could you implement the ability to move separate objects in space inside octane ? or adding and moving emiters. For all of us in modo/maya/lightwave/ and all other apps for whom LivePlugin is not comeing oh so quickly it would be major benefit and turning point . Now its really a chore to light things outside of architecture / hdri lightning only.

Right now, octane does not recognize objects, just materials. RS is currently reworking it so it now recognizes objects, allowing for the use of instances.
After this release, they will look into exactly what you are talking about.
the instancing release is thought to be released later this summer.
hopefully moving objects come shortly after cause I'm a Blender user and have the same problem.
