Hi.
This it my little with list:
1. Alfa channel
2. Falloff map - to use it as mask or control reflections.
3. Dirt/Ambient occlusion map (and dont tell me you can do it via Global Illum - its not that!) - to mix other maps or collors.
4. fixed nodes UI - nodes still can be moved out of screen forever. (
5. buttons for viewport control - need zoom controllers and scrolls. Im use Octane to render real big images (5000x5000) and have problem to control it.
6. GPU Instances - instances to GPU its not problem. We need it. Cause GPU have low RAM and instances will help with it. Games have instances, why Octane not? )
7. GPU Testlation/Subdivision - I use simple models, but I need it be smooth even on 5000x5000 so I subdivide it x3 times.. and after thet I have about 3 milions polys of real geometry.. (( Games can do GPU realtime teselations and Im sure Octan need it to.
8. Addaptive tracing - lot of space on image its Backgroung or plane surfaces. Im sure will be faster to analize once per 10-20 samples image to find empty or smooth zones to avoid it for sampling. Im sure its will speedup Octane it few times.
9. UI Node Inspector fix - not always work fine. Sometimes than something changes - menu scrolled up to start. ((

Thank you for reading. )
Realy hope to see this withess in Octane.

Which version are you using? Checkout the latest 2.44 which has 1., 4., and 5. implemented (checkout the manual that comes with it)

2. (probably) and 6. are already planned
