i was thinking of taking a bite to of octane. how are you going playing with it? is it production ready?

With lightwave only for stills. Too many work arounds for animation. Lw export to blender or modo, applink to octane. If you're using max,maya,blender it is production ready. That killer bean and bug animation looks production quality imho.
But the development is fast since a group of people are working on it. And you can't beat the price for a gpu renderer.
