Does anyone use it?    It was my favorite render /texture baker for  complex bioms   on  surfaces  due to GPU instancing  but since they switched from  special Octane fork  to regular add-on    I have  massive issues .     Parameters doesn't  cross Blender default  Ctrl+G groups  reliably when go through group input .    Reroute dots are not  working in half  cases loosing data coming through them .

Neighter  ChatGPT no Gemini  know  anything . Gemini  mixes Cinema 4  ways with Blender ones.      For some uncertain reason all float3 values  became float4 .    
Any advice  please ?

    Do they have a GitHub where you can post an Issue for this? That would be my first stop, usually the developers will either have answers or they will be grateful for bug reports with clear repro steps so they can fix it.

    I posted  support  ticket directly but they have been kept  silent  for a few days already.   Just wonder if  it's only on my side  and everyone using  blender addon currently  is happy with it .

    thanks okidoki   Unfortunately they  doesn't mention any issues I have.       I found a few workaround on my own although.    Support is still totally silent for some uncertain reason.     Octane is still a champion when  you need to tweak and  render complex bioms   using its cool GPU based scatter on surface nodes   put in groups .  If you Ctrl+G  a first such node  Blender make  group input connected  and it thankfully  works that way . Whenever I create  a new group input on my own   manually it doesn't .      Not sure if its a bug or  just a way Octane  render could work now  vs  custom Blender fork they did before or perhaps I just need to follow certain  data   type rules .       As always  CHatGPT an Gemini  while know evrything on  regular Blender   here  both are only hallucinating with wild guesses.
