Some real gems in here from the article, I'm surprised more users are not jumping about it :
Motion blur mid 2013 for Max/Maya.
Tens of thousand of GPU's for cloud rendering in the future - aiming to beat the price of a couple of $ per hour
sub 10,000 GPUs for the beta period
shadow catcher as a channel? (not sure how this would work).
Brigade features to move into octane soon!
This last one could be great news for films as the render times of octane can still be a killer. It gets 80% of the way there lightning fast, in under a minute, but then can take hours to finish the other 20%. While this stunning level of realism is essential for stills, I'd be happy with some compromise that looked almost as good but converged much much quicker. Brigade features may give us options to 'cut corners' and fake these things without adding more noise and time.
Great find.

You're welcome Darkline, happy that you found this stuff interesting.
Yes its very exciting for the future and great idea for the "shadow catcher" in deep channel, pretty usefull i mean (apparently coming soon !).
So now wait and see

super interesting, thanks for sharing
i wonder how could be octane cloud with an asynchronous connection like mine, fast in dl but super slow in ul

wow, all reads very very cool
one thing I remeber is some vid of subdivision being handled by the gpu... that really would be the icing on the cake..
looks like they're really aiming to break into the movies...

workstation well past its sell-by-date, Vista 64 bit (!) with a pitiful amount of RAM, re-invigorated with a GX 590

This one is killer, a couple of dollars per hour using Tens of thousands of GPU's, I could render an 8k still in a secondsdarkline wrote:Thanks Sealikon

Great recent article about Octane. Thought I would update this thread.
