    Thanks Ronald.  Too bad developers are only aiming at Maya and
    Max from AD "suite".   I admire the job that independent
    developers are putting into this.  I think I'll pass until the
    viewport is integrated in Softimage.  Hope it will not take as
    long as V-ray...

    Even that Maxwell for rendering uses it's own.  The workflow
    beween Softimage and Maxwell is great with Fire. No fooling
    around or tweaking things outside the software.  I hope that Next
    Limit will add the GPU processing and perhaps it will be as fast
    as Octane.

        Nope, this is the best there is for SI at the moment as far
        as I know.

        Personally I don't like switching between apps to see how
        the render is coming.

            Just watch the video in this thread and install the
            addon:
            http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=24365

            Make sure you also download and replace the dll that is
            mentioned later on in the thread, and if your SI camera
            does not export correctly, try changing the default
            units in the Octane prefs to meters.

            If you have the time, can you explain the workflow with
            using both octane and softimage without an interactive

            Thanks

                    yep, been playing with it the last few days
                    and I'm really impressed by the speed and
                    quality of Octane.

                    But comparing both Arnold and Octane, all I
                    can say is for most stuff Arnold is still
                    better suited and production proven, but
                    Octane is a nice addition. Some scenes I
                    tested that took forever to render in Arnold
                    render in just a few minutes in Octane.

                    Can't wait for the interactive viewport plugin
                    for Softimage though.

                    Anyone here has used octane render within
                    Softimage?

                    If so I will appreciate your comments and
                    your point of view of Octane vs other renders
                    you have used.

                    And if you have used Arnold and Octane, which
                    one you prefer.


                    I have the Octane experience only from the
                    videos and the demo.  It seems to me that it
                    is like Maxwell but a lot faster.

                    Cheers!
