2014 NAB Show: OTOY brings OctaneRender™ to Adobe After Effects,
providing new features and flexibility for video producers


LAS VEGAS, Nev. – April 7, 2014 – At the annual NAB Show this week, OTOY Inc. announced that
it’s bringing its acclaimed OctaneRender™ technology to Adobe After Effects, developing a plug-in
that will give video producers new features that improve the quality of their work while simplifying
their workflow.

The new plug-in presents video producers with an intuitive integration of OctaneRender™ into
After Effects’ user interface, allowing producers to import a complete 3D scene into the After Effects
timeline. From there, the scene can be easily edited directly in the After Effects’ viewport, saving
hassles associated with application switching and eliminating the need to constantly re-import
assets into a project.

The OctaneRender™ plug-in will feature the same incredible performance of the Standalone Edition,
making use of NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) to significantly accelerate rendering time,
and will adopt the same render pass features anticipated in OctaneRender™ 2.0 designed
for greater realism in rendering, including displacement mapping, object motion blur, hair and fur
support, OpenSubDiv surfaces, rounded edges, random color texture for instances, and improved sky
rendering using HDRI + Sun.

The Adobe After Effects plug-in is expected to be released in the second half of 2014.

Awesome, that will shine on my pipeline.Thank you

Great News

Hopefully that Plugin will also support older AE versions like CS 5.5

AE camera match with the Octane one?

AE lights are supported?

all channels are extracted?

AE 3d text is rendered by Octane for AE?

Is it possible to map an Octane 3d object with an AE layer?

Octane frames are rendered within the AE render?

we will have the Octane node structure always accessible from AE?

Possibilities are unlimited...

Great work.

will be deep integration of after effects layers/camera/lights with 3d objects and some buffers

This is the best development for filmmakers so far.. With motion blur in octane 2.. Formidable.

I use C4d a lot and pipe into Ae with cineware which has some limitations so will be looking for work arounds with an Ae Octane plugin for Ae that might help with C4d involvement. I've heard very little on this aspect where Octane has plug for C4d already and as to that pipe potential between Ae and C4d.

Hi all,
Any news on this plugin?
Just seems a bit quiet for such a great plugin.
