Quote - I continue to post tutorials on here, and talk about carrara on DAZ. Life goes on, but I wonder how many will "defect" to Octane once the plug in is ready.

I realise this is a rendering package only, but rendering your work is the presentation so very important.

I plan to sit in both camps when this momentus event occurs (release of the plug in).

And thank you for continuing your tutorials! I continue to learn from them, especially since I have extremely limited experience with animation, and that needs to change.

I thought the Octane plug-in was already available as alpha(?). I don't have an NVIDIA card, so Octane has been out of the question for me and I haven't been following. I wish they worked with other cards too.

But it will be useful to know how well will the plug-in integrate into Carrara. Will it support dynamic hair? Atmosphere settings? Clouds? Fog? Inagoni volumetrics? HDRI? Automatic material conversions with at least the best guess for the standard channel alternatives? If you are registered at the forum, these are the questions to ask :).

I think the extent of the integration will determine how many people will switch.
