You can read about new features of OctaneRender™ 2021.1.2 here:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=79275


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.

Hello all,

After some consideration, we are making available a version of this Test Build for OctaneRender Prime users. We are posting the links here, instead of the Landing Page as we normally would. It is standard that we only provide Prime Edition plugins for Stable releases - Test Builds are otherwise made available to Studio and Enterprise Edition users. Due to the substantial number of improvements in this Test version, we are going to make an exception and post Prime download links below:


Windows

DOWNLOAD (both distributives must be reinstalled, they depend on each other)

Blender Octane Edition - 25.2 (3.0.1)
Octane Server - PRIME Edition - 25.2


Linux

DOWNLOAD

Blender Octane Edition - 25.2 (3.0.1) Linux
Octane Server - PRIME Edition - 25.2 Linux

As with the Enterprise and Studio users, please be aware that this is still an experimental build, and is not suitable for production work.
