Sketchup and Octane

HI All

I used octane for Sketchup years back and was over all impressed with the speed I recall. But I also remember that it was not so stable and the UI sometimes did not work 100%.

I have tried to look for videos of SU and Octane online but have not really found anything of newer date. Also not much going on here in this forum.

I like to know the state of Octane for SU now.
How is the speed and the usability of Octane for SU ?
How stable is Octane for SU ?
How well do the denoiser work in Octane for SU ?
Did any one try the new RTX 3080 or 3090 cards with Octane for SU ?
Is there some one that could post a video online of the latest Octane for SU2020 ?

I plan to do renderings of interior scenes and some simple animation of furniture's.
Also do furniture design presentation to clients in real-time render windows, and for that I will need the speed of Octane.
I hope you guys can help me..... THANKS !!!

Hi Clausgs,

Sorry, we missed answering your previous post.
Have you tried the latest stable release here [ viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75792]?

We are still maintaining the plugin, please feel free to let us know there is an issue!

HI Octane

Thanks for the reply.

I just like to hear from other Octane + SU users what experience they have with the plugin.
Is it stable ?
Supports all the functions ?
And so on ?

I am on a laptop at the moment and my company will invest in a suitable desktop rendering computer.
So would like to know if any one have experience with the new RTX 3080 or 3090 ?
Speed ?
Comparison ?
Is it really worth the extra money to invest in the 3090 or ?

Hi Clausgs,

Thank you!! Yep, sure!!

Thanks...

I will contact you later after we have a computer with a better GPU.
For now no need to test as we are just on our laptop, not strong enough.
