Silverwing: New in Octane 2026.1

MESSAGE: As every Year around this time, there it is, the Octane new Features video. Where I go through all the new features of this Years Octane release in Cinema 4D and as is tradition also Blender! It's a bit delayed as I wanted to wait for the first Hot-Fix for Octane C4D which resolved some of the problems of the initial release. As always, I hope you like this video and can integrate one or the other new feature into your workflow!
