OTOY is proud to once again advance the state of the art with the launch of OctaneRender – available now – with revolutionary machine learning techniques, no underlying geometry support, and massive 10-100x speedup in the scene graph.

Basic moments

Volume rendering
It supports rendering of solid particles such as clouds, smoke, fog and fire at varying densities, and also introduces a unique native primitive type for the incredibly detailed displacement volumes of microsurfaces and surfaces required for rendering photorealistic natural and organic materials.

Deep pixel rendering
It adds support for deep pixel rendering, as well as live connectivity for DCC and compositing applications via the Octane Renderer plugin for Nuke®.

OSL
The application supports Open Shading Language, which allows artists to create their own shaders and use custom shaders from other software directly in projects.

Baking live textures
It supports unbiased GPU texture baking (UV or Volumetric) global illumination, spherical harmonics and 8D light fields.

Speed
Using the power of the GPU, it can render final quality images 10 to 50 times faster than unbiased CPU-based rendering engines. This means there is no more “get up and wait” in your workflow.

Interactivity
The app’s screen viewport is the final rendering. Any changes to the scene are instantly displayed on the screen, allowing you to adjust any settings and see the results immediately.

Lighting
It supports HDRI, mesh emitters, IES files, and planetary sun/sky system. Rotate an HDRI file to position it in the scene, or turn any object into a mesh of light by turning on the material’s emissive property. With additional Light Linking and Light Exclusion features, Rendering application allows you to control the lighting in the scene as you choose.

Materials
It supports sub-surface scattering (SSS), complex IOR, chromatic dispersion and absorption to create some of the best materials in the industry. Use the node editor to create complex materials from procedural textures, or quickly pull a material from the OctaneLive material database. In addition to OSL textures, it supports metallic materials, cartoon shaders, and allows you to import complex PBR textures through uber’s universal materials node.

cartoon shading
Transform your photorealistic images into dynamic scenes with cartoonish shadows with just one application of material.

Octane noise suppressor
Render noise-free images in a fraction of the time with OctaneRender’s noise reduction implementation, which offers huge benefits over OptiX™.

Beyond Basic Geometry
It can quickly render out-of-core geometry from CPU memory with minimal speed loss even across multiple GPUs—a first for unbiased GPUs.

What’s new

NVIDIA RTX acceleration
Experience 2x to 5x faster rendering speeds on NVIDIA GPUs with ray tracing and RTX hardware acceleration. The speed boost is most noticeable in challenging scenes and can be measured using RTX OctaneBench®.

Multilayer materials
Create complex materials with the new multi-layer material system, allowing up to 8 layers on a base layer. New nodes include layer material, diffuse layer, specular layer, glitter layer, metal layer and layer group nodes, allowing you to recreate a physically based material.

SSS Spectral Random Walk and Hair Material
Create ultra-realistic skin and diffuse materials using the new Random Walk environment. Spectral Hair Material supports various color modes and roughness settings for photorealistic digital characters.

VECTRON™
Create infinite procedurally generated scenes, volumes and geometry using vector-polygon geometry, bypassing meshes and volumes and using zero GPU video memory.

SPECTRON™
Create procedurally controlled volumetric lighting with the Spectron™ module, including tools such as blocker spotlights, barn doors, and gels.

OSL and procedural vertex displacement
Render procedural and OSL vertex offsets (height or vector) with a robust system free of legacy offset constraints. Mix/layer vector/height displacement maps using the new displacement mixer node.

OSL shaders for volumetric textures
Use any kind of texture for volumes, going beyond static colors to absorb, diffuse and emit in volumes.

Prices

Annual subscription – 19.99 EUR/month (billed annually)

Monthly subscription – 23.95 €/month (Paid monthly)

OctaneRender® Studio+ Subscriptions provide artists and studios with full access to the renowned OctaneRender VFX software and OTOY ecosystem with unlimited network rendering (10+ nodes) on a flexible monthly plan.

System requirements

• Works on Microsoft® Windows® 8, 10 and 11 (64-bit only).
• A current NVIDIA graphics driver is required.

The demo version has the following limitations:

• The output rendering resolution is locked at 1000×600 pixels.
• Project and render outputs cannot be saved.
• LiveDB online content database functionality is not included.
• The rendering result contains watermarks (Octane logo and stripes).
• No network rendering

PROS

• High-quality rendering: physically accurate, photorealistic images.
• Speed: Uses GPU acceleration for fast rendering.
• Real-time feedback: Interactive preview for quick adjustments.
• Integration: Compatible with major 3D software (eg Blender, Cinema 4D).
