Is that even released yet? Or demo-able? I thought it was just "in progress" for ages?

Today is the day:

Has Octane 4 really been released? I see the demo video, but going to the website, everything is talking about Octane 3, not 4. Even the purchase page says "Octane 4": https://home.otoy.com/render/octane-render/purchase/

Well, here's the announcement on their forums:

And in their facebook group:

"The Future of AI and GPU Rendering"

I've used Octane and I think what they are best at is hype.

They're not even very good at that. The framerate of the VERY FIRST clip with the statue of liberty at the start of that video is horrendous.
