You're the very best, jim. Thanks for this.

Are you currently planning to include support for maya 2022? In the next release, perhaps?

1) Urgently need a "Lens shift" setting (inside the camera)
It hasn't been in the interface for three years.
If it is already inside the octane, could you name the mel code?

This option allows you to move the camera and render part of the image. Excellent solution for high resolution rendering.

2) You also don't have region rendering settings like in c4d
3) RTX acceleration gives a big boost, thanks!

This is not C4D plugin.
Everything you ask here is available in Maya plugin, it is just done Maya way. All functionality you mention is plugin-agnostic in Maya, you do this in Maya the same as with other renderers - following the Autodesk manuals.
I know the Maya plugin manual is not good enough so far, not all functionality is described there. But as far as I know - guys are working on it currently to make it better...
If you don't find how to do all this in Maya, I'm sure BK can explain you how to set things up...

yes this is film offset every plug name different based on the DCC plug functionality and usual workflow, right now make sense on Maya so change as C4D won't make sense for Maya users, with film offset you can do the math and render patches we did the multiple times so is possible, I guess you know you need calculate the crop factor to have the same main focal lens when you put together in photoshop like film aspect ration divide by two means 4 patches and then film offset 0.5,-0.5 and etc.

Thanks for the tip on "Lens shift"!

Any advice on how you can make the visible outline of the octane light source?
When we look at it in 2D mode, at an angle of 90 degrees, only its arrow is visible.
The light source itself disappears. Is it a feature of maya or octane?

Yes, please add this, the octane lights are impossible to see in the viewport.

Morning Guys,

Hi Jim can we have an update of the engine as the commercial release is 2020.2.3?

Cheers,
