The world's fastest and most feature-rich unbiased render engine that integrates completely into Autodesk® Maya®.
Maya® Version Requirements
This release will work with Maya® Versions 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 64-bit on Windows, Linux and OSX operating systems.
To use this version, you need a GPU of compute model 3.0 or higher. Support for Fermi GPUs (like GTX 4xx and 5xx) has been dropped. Also make sure you use a driver of version 419.17 or higher and if you are working on Mac OS that have a CUDA driver installed that supports at least CUDA 9.1.

OctaneRender Standalone 2020.1
Changes since version 17.17:
- New feature: implemented the Octane-specific management/outliner panel. See its usage notes below.
Some usage notes regarding the new "Octane panel" feature:
- The panel is opened by a new "open panel" button on the Octane shelf.
- Single-clicking any node in the panel by left mouse button will select it in the scene.
- Nodes that are used as other nodes' inputs (except of Octane geometry/locator nodes) are marked with a "pin" icon to the left of the node name in the panel's tree.
- If the node is not used in any other nodes, it has an "empty" icon to the left of the node name and:
a) its name is greyed if it is simply not used in any other nodes' inputs.
b) its name is not greyed, which means its output was used before in one or several other nodes' inputs, and this node had been temporarily disconnected from them using the feature described in p.5. - If the node is marked with a "pin" icon (which means it has output connection(s) to other node(s)), and it is not a geometry node or a node from the render-target group (SunSky, Kernel, etc), double-clicking such node will temporarily disconnect its output from all other nodes and cache this connection information (only at one-scene-session level). After that the node will be marked by the "empty" icon, but its name will not be greyed. The subsequent double-click on such node will re-connect its output to all the previous nodes. If the temporarily-disconnected node's output had been connected manually to some nodes afterwards, this erases its previously cached output-connections.
- Double-clicking nodes from the render-target group (SunSky, Kernel, etc) that have an "empty" icon next to them will make them currently active (and the icon will become a "pin"). Double-clicking such node that is already connected (has a "pin" icon next to it) will disconnect it - so none of the nodes of this type (e.g. Kernels) will be connected as current to the Scene.
- You can drag-and-drop nodes inside the Octane panel tree to connect them to other Octane nodes' inputs. The panel will automatically recognize and allow to only drop a node onto appropriate nodes:
a) after dropping a node onto another node, a selection-list of input-plugs of other node will be shown that the output of the dropped node can be connected to. Already connected plugs will be marked by "pin" icons in the list.
b) if other node's input-plug is already connected to a dropped node's output, this plug will not be shown in the selection-list. If there is only one such connected plug, dropping on that node will not be allowed.
c) if other node has only one input that can be connected to the dropped node (and this input is not already connected to the dropped node), the nodes will be connected immediately without showing the selection list.
d) if other nodes' input had been chosen and this input is already connected to some other node's output, it will be disconnected from the previous output, and the newly dropped node will be connected instead. - You can click the right mouse button inside the Octane panel tree to be creating any new Octane nodes on-the-fly.
- You can use the "Search" field on top of the Octane panel to filter out nodes in the tree:
a) the previous expanded/collapsed state of the tree will be restored after filtering is finished.
b) you can either finish filtering by deleting everything inside the "Search" field, or just by pressing the "ESC" key.
Known issue:
I can see in some of my tests that Maya has some weird bug and does not restore the plugin's workspace-integrated panel in the previous place after Maya gets restarted. In this case you need to press the Octane button on the shelf to open it again if you closed Maya.
This looks like Maya bug to me, cause I can see Maya stores this panel's information in its workspace-preferences file, but for some reason it never calls the plugin's supplied callback to restore the panel content - instead it just closes the existing panel after Maya started. Probably it tries to deal with it before it auto-loads the plugin, and because the panel is plugin-dependent, Maya just drops attempts to restore it after the plugin gets finally loaded... I will investigate it some more...
