What about this support???

"Implemented the support of Maya fluid's "shading" mode: Octane now can translate the fluid's shading before start rendering, sampling Maya's shading into Octane voxels geometry. Maya's fluid sampling API is very slow, so be prepared to long translation times of large fluids in Maya's "shading" mode. Use the fluid's "textures" amplitude and similar parameters to fine-tune the Maya's texture opacity output so that it appears properly visible in Octane output. In addition use the new "Voxel multiplier" and "Voxel range" in Octane section of the fluid (along with Octane medium's density and step length): these can be used to widen the dynamic range of Maya's shading output, adapting it for voxels density (in the case if the Maya's shading dynamic range is too narrow and you don't see any details inside the rendered volume). Think of it as an intermediate way to "fake-shade" volumes in Octane, before the true volumes shading gets implemented on the Octane rendering engine level..."

This is not OC2018 features this is basic support?

Cheers,

Hi JimStar,

I found that the Maya V4 plugin seems to be the only Octane V4 DCC plugin to have stopped support for further DCC version

for example :

I eared you, supporting Maya 2019 for octane V4 would be more work so less time to implement new features.

However, even if I don't need it personnaly ( yet ), I don't think it's acceptable to stop V4 branch support at Maya 2018.
