OTOY Forums

About a year ago there was a big press release for Octane 3, if anyone remembers. I just upgraded now that its out. That's fine, but whatever happened to the proposed Unity and Unreal plugins? I've seen Youtube demos but never have heard much more about that. It would be so great to render out of Unity and/or bake objects with Octane from within Unity.

Also, as a relative newcomer to Otoy please clean up these various forums and product pages. OctaneVR as far as I know doesn't exist anymore, right? But the website has a whole section about it. There's plenty of confusion in the information presented and its not always clear what's going on. Are all the plugins up to date? The latest development release of the Sketchup plugin was January 2016. But the software itself is great, thanks....

Unreal 4 plug-in is in development, based on the 3.0 engine, and we're aiming to post an alpha version soon. We are also exploring integration in other real time engines.

Octane VR is coming back as well, but we had to get 3.00 out first, and we are next going to be launching ORC. We will be cleaning up the site and landing pages after we get subscription pricing and other options online, which will be driving most of those changes.

I'm definitely looking forward to the UE4 plugin, it would be a huge time saver for working with lighting. Is it still intended to eventually replace Lightmass? I'll be interested to see how much VRAM is recommended, and the plugin price.
