Quote - Yes, unfortunately compared to the development of the other plugins, the DS plugin is way behind. It's also quite unfortunate that the developer chooses to not communicate with the users either. I'm still reasonably happy with it, and feel that when the 2.0 update does get released, it will be quite good. But the development cycle being 6 months to a year behind the other plugins is not a good way to make sales.

If you have Poser, that could be a good alternative, the development cycle (and quality) for the Poser plugin is top notch. I'm trying to save to get it. Poser dynamic hair is already supported in Octane via the plugin.

I am jealous that you were / are able to get it to work. I had been looking forward to using Octane for over a year now. I think, anyway, I know it seems that long since I first heard about it.

I couldn't use it before because of my video card being a ATI Radeon. And I really didn't want to crack open the case and do a swap.

Unfortunately even if the updated plug in was released today, I don't think I could bring myself to try again. My experience was so poor and the plug in so unprofessional that I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money on it.

But I will still be jealous all the same. :)
