This looks really promising and is exciting news!

I must confess, I recently bought me an Octane Redener licence as well.

It's realy an amazing thing and fast, holy moly! I just hope my GTX570 won't explode =D

But I have yet to find a good work flow from Poser to Octane. My next aim is incorporating mesh lights into Octane or lights in general. This will be ... fun? LOL
