E_Cycles with already RTX support or Octane? Tweet

[davorin]

Good evening (o;

I am pretty sure many have heard of the E_Cycles spin-off with RTX support from Mathieu...

As I don't have the RTX build, but just the regular build, I would like to know if some users here have some performance comparison between Octane and E_Cycles...


My current subscription runs out by December 6th and haven't decided which renderer to pick after that...

E_Cycles already shows some RTX RT core performance boost...where as Octane still haven't released anything yet...

There is Standalone build with RTX support already:

In some scenes there is no speed increase and in some eg with lots of instances like trees it's 2-3 times faster.
I simple scenes with few objects or interior scenes I haven't noticed any speed increase.

Octane for Blender will take advantage of RTX acceleration as soon as 2019.2 version of the core will be integrated. My feeling is that we'll see a very first implementation as soon as Blender 2.81 will be officially released.
Right now we're concentrated on Octane 2019.1.2 for Blender 2.8, still in beta.
