This version requires Nvidia video driver 301.42 or higher.


HOW TO PURCHASE LICENSES

Go to our online shop here: http://render.otoy.com/shop/

A license for the plugin product alone will cost 99 € while in the initial open beta phase, and 199 € when the final version of the plugin
is released.

The plugin will require the user to have a valid OctaneRender™ Standalone version installed and activated. If you don't have an OctaneRender
license yet, you can purchase both the plugin and the engine/standalone licenses as one bundle for 279 euros.

You can also purchase a 3, 5 or 10 pack of OctaneRender® for Poser licenses, just like OctaneRender Standalone Edition packs.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow the installation instructions in the manual (included in the ZIP file). Remember to copy the octane.dat file into the
folder that contains PoserPro.exe/Poser.exe (as per installation instructions).

If you get a message when running the plugin from the Render menu "Could not load Octane libraries", this is either due to not
installing the plugin correctly (refer to the manual), or your Nvidia drivers are out of date.


NVIDIA DRIVER REQUIREMENTS

This version requires video driver 301.42 or higher.

Thanks for that hyperlink!

Wow, guys, it look fantastic, but $373 for a licensed version to a program that only costs $299. I think that's even beyond my craziness.

Wow, octaneRender looks pretty damn cool, I'm going to dig into the tutorial now!

$373 for the full version is outside my budget, maybe one day! But thanks for the demo, the quality is amazing

OctaneRender for Poser comes out of beta on the 15th July, so if you want the cheaper beta pricing, get in before then. The Mac version is also now fully supported.

I have to say that this demo version looks absolutely amazing. The level of detail is quite incredible. This is something that could only be dreamed about years back when technology wasn't quite as advanced. Keep it up guys.
