my own findings, in a nutshell: most surface properties which can be managed via the Simple interface are supported, about every property which cannot be managed that way and needs the Advanced interface explicitely, is hardly supported. The only node that is supported well is image_map.

This holds for all external renderers, whether they are Vue, Reality/LuxRender or Octane, or other ones. In general, geometries transfer well but cameras lights and materials have to be reconsidered, and preferrably redone and optimized to get real quality out. External renderers are not "just another firefly".

just my opinion.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
