The OP said he/she had a powerful system. And if they liked the free plugin and suggested that others try it, well that's probably should have been said instead of making a flawed review. For the narrow application that was stated, this shouldn't have been a review. But certainly others can try it as their mileage may vary. But for my experience, I wasn't happy with it and I paid several hundred in the initial cost and upgrades and didn't get my money's worth. (Considering I had to pay for Octane and the DAZ plugin) I know the work in the plugin was taken over by a different developer than the one that initially developed it, but Otoy offered no type of incentive to continue using it as they wanted full upgrade price for the less buggy plugin despite the bugs the current user base encountered. By that time, iray was doing much better than the DAZ Studio plugin of Octane so I switched to that and I have no real issues moving forward.

Yes. I agree OTOY should do something for previous customers. If it matters, you could ask them. For your Daz work, Iray is the logical choice. I doubt many people will spend the time to reconfigure everything they bought in the store for a 3rd party plugin that works in its own special way. That would be annoying!
