NEW: You asked, we delivered: OTOY releases OctaneRender™ 2 with a dozen new features by community request Tweet

Upgraded it, but I'll wait the Maya plugin. Never used the standalone due to a workflow of customary reviews.

Great news, thanks. I know that Octane is already fast, but has there been any speed improvements in ver 2.0?

nope its a bit slower


'This is the price of all new feature. Unfortunately every new feature slows down gpu code even if it is not used. Not sure we can improve the speed anytime soon.'


'We have seen a slow down in the range 10-20% compared to 1.5, maybe 25%,..'


'On a simple interior scene, 8000 Maxsamples PathTracing

1.5 : 7.5 MSamples/s almost 17 min

2.0 : 4.35 MSamples/s almost 31 min'

Crap - can't use it (hopefully that is a 'yet' ...) as at the moment I only have CUDA driver level 5.5 and it needs to be a minimum of 6. There is an update to the drivers for my cards available, which I am currently downloading, so we shall see ...

almost 50% slower on some of my heavy scene...it's really really slow... you should have to tell us before buying the upgrade.
it's not cool. it's like i lost half of my PC power..

What type of scenes get slowed down?
is it just a lot of geomety/ textures, or certain features used?
