Softimage to Octane plugin in the works

The Octane render developers recently updated their manual with command line/batch file commands. A guy on the Octane forums (face) is currently developing a C++ plugin which automates quite a lot of the exporting from Softimage to Octane including full camera setup, animation and mesh animation. (Exporting each frame as an OBJ file and relinking it into the Octane Renderer scene).

Very similar to what I had started doing myself before I found out about this one. So I've put that little project on hold!

According to the author, this will accompany the v2.2 release of Octane.

EDIT: This plugin is now available for download here. You'll probably need the license to access this thread at the Octane renderer forums.
