See that is the main difference... everybody simply can;t stand maya... on the
other hand in Softimage we are so comfortable that we simply don't wanna leave
:)
Something that Maya only ppl will never understand, they have relationship with
a bully ;)

I hear you about the bugs in the plugins ( I was rather comparing the types of

better. One of the reasons I prefer to use it. That and the sooner I can get

I can personally confirm on what Matt said about bugs.
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

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.

Octane can use additional memory (its just not set up by default as it slows

You also don’t need to use the standalone, There are MAYA / Soft plugins which
make it virtually the same as a redshift experience.
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.
Kind regards

I agree with Marc-Andre on that, but that said, afaik Octane is standalone
requiring export as alembic or obj, which is somewhat limiting compared to the
built in flexibility of Redshift/XSI combo. Also last time I checked Octane
does not allow using system memory for scene data like Redshift does.
