Nodes
If Item is selected in NODE VIEW you can press ENTER to jump inside node going from Transform top level to inside NODE SOP (Surface Operator) mode. This is equivalent to going into the shape node in Maya to change geometry vs just changing transform in world space.
Apologies in advance for the monitor moire pattern. It is the only monitor I have that the Octane runs with. I do adjust the brightness after a few moments to make it is easier to see but the pattern is there. Hopefully you can still enjoy the information with the pattern being there. I couldn't see it until after I recorded it all and opened the files. Also cut off the bottom so you can't see the menus. I'll try to rectify this on the next Octane video by setting the camera in a better spot to remove the pattern more like during the particle portion near the end of the video.
If you go full screen it seems to distract less.
