Hi everyone,

We're proud to add the OctaneRender™ for Inventor plug-in to our rapidly growing list of integrated plug-ins. OctaneRender™ for Inventor fully integrates the OctaneRender™ engine into the modelling environment of Inventor, significantly improving the workflow by making the need to export your scene from Inventor to OctaneRender obsolete.

OctaneRender™ is currently recognized by many industry professionals and 3D graphic visualization artists as the most advanced and fastest GPU-based physically-based render engine with an advanced and flexible node based workflow and user interface. Now, with our new plugin products, you can have the unparalleled quality and ease of use of the fastest physically-based render engine on the market tightly integrated into your 3D modeling and animation software.

This new plugin will provide a fast workflow and rendering pipeline suitable for interactive editing of lights, camera, materials and object placement.

HOW TO PURCHASE LICENSES

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

A license for the OctaneRender for Inventor 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 during the beta phase for 279 euros.
