Cool, looks like the bug has finally been fixed. It would have been nice if Radiance had acknowledged the problem/fix in this thread, but I can understand him wanting to put things behind him. I hope there are no hard feelings about this issue. I don't know what took place with Paq in the private octane forums, but I assume he was only sticking to his guns while everyone was brushing him off. I think in the end Octane is a better product for his efforts, and it can now be fully embraced by the CAD community (which I would think to be a huge userbase for this kind of product).

That dual 480gtx video was nice, btw. These gpu based bi-directional path tracers are definitely going to change things over the next few years. Fun times.
