Hey there and welcome to the next video of this "New Feature Series" of Octane 2025.1
This time with the difference that there are Houdini and Blender versions out for the Beta. So I am going to show the rather exciting feature-set of the new Octane Decals in the Standalone as well as in Blender Octane.
I have been asked about this one so I think there is a bit of interest out there π
