A subj, actually. I've tried to set up an orthogaphic camera in octane in my scene and it was not so easy, because the way you operate a camera parameters is absolutely different to LW one! And if you set it right in LW in the Octane it will look other way. Sure, you could set it up in the IPR window, but if you have a big scene it's not so easy way, at least because you have to wait for all objects to be loaded. Is it possible to make a same parameters for the LW and Octanes orthogaphic camera?

I am not sure if it is possible at all, because LW works with aperture distance and Octane works with something like aperture angle (even I don't have a clear idea about how the Octane parameter works) ... anyway I will try to make some tests to see if it is possible.
