Great feature.

Howdy folks,

in the first preview of the upcoming 1.5 version of Octane standalone, we've shown camera path animations exported from a 3D modeling app with the Alembic file format. This preview takes it a step further, showing that Octane is also capable of real-time preview rendering of animated scenes. While this functionality was already present in some plugins, having it in the standalone opens up some interesting possibilities. It will allow for e.g. animaton rendering on a network cluster or on the cloud without requiring the 3D host application and it's also interesting for future animation specific features in the standalone. As mentioned before there's also the possibility to export and exchange animations between the different OctaneRender plugins.

Some early tests (all rendered in real-time on 4x GTX 680s), needless to say this is an incredibly fun feature:







Cheers!

Sweet! Looks nice

Cool news! It's already support mesh deformation like cloth or skinned mesh?

Can new OR 1.5 fix my issue "Glasses at PMC - caustics smooth - fail!?"??

NOTE: I can reply sorry but I can't make new topic in section "News & Announcements".

Not yet. Only object transforms and camera paths are supported for now, but animated vertices/deformable geometry are planned.

It's a greate news!) You rock!

Good job ,guys. This is a big step into the future.

Nice! Will it use ram caching for rendered frames?

Great to see it in action. Well done guys.
Can't wait for the release.
