OctaneRender™ for Blender plugin. Windows, Linux and OSX versions. The download links, provided on this page, are for Perpetual License Holders.

OctaneRender Studio subscribers can access their software from the "Downloads" section of their Customer Account Page.




NEW FEATURES SINCE LAST RELEASE

  • OctaneRender API will not be initialized until OctaneBlender Client is open and connects to the server
    • Generally, the initialization takes place when you open blender - so it might take a bit longer than before
  • When Blender is no longer running, deactivate the OctaneRender API so the licenses and slaves are released
    • You can turn this feature on/off at "User Preference - Addons - OctaneRender - Release Octane License After Exiting". If you use OctaneBlender on only one platform, you could turn it off.

FIXES SINCE LAST RELEASE

  • Release license when receiving interrupt signal(e.g. CTRL+C) on OSX/Linux - the release process might take several seconds. The process will exit after that.


You can read about new features of OctaneRender™ 4.04 here:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=71375

The installation consists from two parts:
1. OctaneRender™ Server
2. Blender - OctaneRender™ edition.

After starting OctaneServer it will take some time before the LiveDB tree and LiveDB material previews will be available from Blender - as OctaneServer caches the LiveDB data from remote server right after starting. But only the materials groups tree will be re-cached every time after server start, LiveDB material preview images will be cached only once - so only the very first OctaneServer start will need some more time before LiveDB tree will be available in Blender.
After the server is run - you can start rendering (or open a rendered view) from inside Blender.
