Educational Licensing

[anomal]

Hello Octane Render Team,
my name is Giulio and I'm a Master of Science Electronics Engineering student, as well as a computer graphics enthusiast.

I'm trying to get a friend Instructor of the Academy of Fine Arts of my city to introduce Octane Render into his course in Computer Graphics.
He is excited about this possibility and would like to know if an educational licensing is available.

He plans to have at least 15 students in an experimental course this year, learning and then producing a short movie in Maya.
(Final project making of from last year course: http://vimeo.com/51046292)

I evaluated the demo version of Octane Render with great results, provided I was using an NVIDIA GT540M.
We are REALLY excited about the great speed of Octane also on these low-end graphics cards as we currently use student's notebooks to develop/render our work.

We would also like to know if a trial version of OctaneRender for Maya is avalable.

Thank you,
Giulio.

Hi Guilio, please write to info at octanerender dot com about this....

why would you want ti use octane for that. Its a lot slower than biased renders. Biased renders like Mental Ray produce high quality results faster granted they are not as photo realistic.
