    Bit hit and miss last time I tried it, not got my version installed at the moment as I never upgraded past Or2Ds

    possibly less issues than 3Delight though that has converter scripts Octane doesn't

    Mostly works ok. Sometimes an unwanted specular gets added to materials, so they come out too glossy, but that's easy to fix. Bump maps get converted ok, but the intensity needs dialing back in Octane, since by defaut it's too high. For basic materials, like glass, water, and metals I tend to use the materials provided with Octane rathger than the converted Iray ones.

    Iray decals don't work ( or at least I haven't found a way to make them work ).

     

    More details if you need them.

    I have Octane. Converting all the materials is (in my opinion) a huge pain in the butt. 

    Yes, Octane is a little faster than Iray and using the system VRAM is nifty, but the materials conversion sucks up all the time you save.
