I was trying to figure out which settings in Maya's Camera and which settings in the plug-in and where they were in the Camera in Octane.

Think I got most of them... am I right on assuming that the f-stop on the Maya Camera has nothing to with depth of field in Octane?

Also I notice that when you increase Lens Aperture Radius a higher number gives you more blur.... when on a camera a higher f-stop gives you less blurr on depth of filed. Not a big deal, just counter intuitive to normal lens understanding.

NOTE: Smoothing is not being carried to all meshes.
I also get an OBJ import error in "some" cases "XXXX.obj is not mesh node" When I hit OK it is able to launch anyway.

Thanks Bazuka for your efforts
