I hear you about the bugs in the plugins ( I was rather comparing the types of things you can do in each as being similar) The standalone support is much better. One of the reasons I prefer to use it. That and the sooner I can get out of Maya the happier I am ;)

When I as really small freelancer with not much licences, submit in my evening and if it is bug I saw new update posted tomorrow morning in not single but couple occasion. That goes a long way On Mon, Apr 11, 2016 at 4:58 PM, Matt Morris <[email protected]<redir.aspx?REF=kbb2Gj1t0-BDfF5W_2PqcZFb2EM6zGD9539upM3-_stveaXILmLTCAFtYWlsdG86bWF0dG1vc0BnbWFpbC5jb20.>> wrote: I'm going to have to disagree with that 'virtually the same as a redshift experience' statement - just reading the maya plugin support forum on otoy has been enough to keep me away from using it in production, as it was clear that the plugin developer had way too many hats to wear (ie several plugins), was slow to update to the most recent versions and didn't respond to forum posts at all. The redshift experience is a polar opposite, bugs are squished almost the same day, and they always respond to posts, even when its a good chance of being user error. That said I realise that otoy are trying to do something about that situation, and will keep an eye on the progress of 3.0/3.1 as and when its released.

In 3.1 they will be adopting the glTF format (they dropped FBX saying it was too clunky ) Although both FBX and USD can be added in theory using their now opened API. I did some tests on the weekend and am cautiously optimistic about glTF as a potential format, although I think they should have gone the USD route.

Also last time I checked Octane does not allow using system memory for scene data like Redshift does.
