***I'm still not convinced by that at all. I've seen Lightwave do incredible realistic renders, so does maya and 3D Studio Max and even Vue creates some very realistic results that will be very hard to surpass.***

There are Octane plugins for Lightwave, Maya, 3ds, C4D, etc.  People use them because the render quality and speed from Octane is better than the in-built renderer for these apps.  Professionals are rendering animations from these apps using Octane.

but personally I'm not placing them on the same level as some of the others yet.

The OctaneRender for Poser plugin uses EXACTLY the same renderer as the OctaneRender for 3DS plugin, and Maya plugin, and the Octane Standalone app.  What you can do in one, you can do in the others.

If you need "proof" of the sort of quality of renders you can get from Octane - check out the link provided.  There are a few animations in there too.
