This worked for me. I was able to render a grid with aaOcean applied to it. The aaOceanIceDeformer plugin showed up in Plugin Manager
aaOceanRev255\aaOcean\Arnold\Arnold-4.2.0.6-windows\Shader\aaOcean.dll to $WORKGROUP\Addons\SItoA\Application\Plugins\bin\nt-x86-64 aaOcean\Arnold\Arnold-4.2.0.6-windows\SItoA\aaOcean.spdl to $WORKGROUP\Addons\SItoA\Application\spdl aaOceanRev255\aaOcean\Softimage\Softimage2014\aaOceanDeformer.dll to $WORKGROUP\Addons\SItoA\Application\Plugins $WORKGROUP is just my workgroup location. For example: C:\Users\StephenBlair\Documents\softimage\workgroups\sitoa-3.2.0-2014 It's sometimes impossible to troubleshoot this stuff in Softimage because SItoA filters the Arnold. I usually end up exporting an ASS file and running kick to get the whole log. Or just running kick -nodes to verify whether Arnold can load the shader.
