Yes, it's too bad Octane doesn't support this sort of thing.

The work around is to manually make 5 or 6 clones, then manually offset and customize each's animation yourself. When once you scatter them also add random rotation to mix them all up. Can usually get away with it.

I always wondered why people just easily critise what's missing on a free addon! Scatter objects was a big feature which is added by me and designed for speed with some limitations. Also this plugins is internally very complicated to provide a different workflow than most of others. This makes everythings is harder than a straight-forward render plugin. Users may request everythings but nobody knows how hard to do somethings.
