Oh yes!
And OTOY just released their latest version of OctaneRender, which integrates seamlessly with Blender 2.80.  :D

The realtime viewport is awesome. Runs great on my system. Super speedy. Cycles is also super fast, and does appropriate area lighting off planes and inter-reflections which is really nice. In fact all lighting works subperbly (point lights, suns, and spot and area lights). Easy to bloom volumetrics without a pixel noise show.

Blender is really at the forefront of scaleable technology imo. It can do sooo much.

Going to give Vue a try today to test out it's lighting and water.

Blender has been my main design tool for OBJ models I've been creating and selling.  It's a remarkably competent piece of software.

Is that what you used for some of your shares here?

Do you have a store link? I love your renders.

Oh wow, fantastic. That makes me want to start modeling even more. I've tinkered a bunch with Blender but still pretty intimidated.

Thank you!
I display my artwork on deviant art:  https://www.deviantart.com/search?q=masonspappy
The models I  sell are over at Turbosquid ( https://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Artists/lazaruslong ) and my handle there is Lazaruslong (which makes perfect since if you ever read anything by Robert Heinlein). Don't have a lot of items in there at the moment. I transferred some of my inventory to NWDA about 2 years ago, and pulled some other stuff out of TS because I just didn't the quality was good enough.  I'm s-l-o-w-l-y rebuild my TS inventory with TS-certified models because the certification helps get them noticed. But it's a huge pain and a straight-up learning curve to get certification.  Now that NWDA is closed I'll likely add some of those models back to the TS inventory.
