NEW: OTOY previews OctaneRender™ version 2.0, further advancing the science of CG rendering Tweet

If you are buying the standalone with one of the first party OTOY plug-ins (Max, Maya, Blender) , you can safely assume the upgrade price will be less or equal to the price of buying it new.

Equal to buying it new in worse case scenario.....and when I was just getting happy.

Is the blender plugn first party? I thought it wasn't. Hoping it is now though.

Yes, it is the first-party.

I usually work with scenes that range from 1 to 50 Gigabytes of data), etc.
I work for a big game company, in my building there are more than 2000 PCs in the same LAN, can you imagine if I could access even only 10% of them?
But that's not gonna happen...

Wow that is a lot of data! I understand your plan now. Maybe I can buy some Octane licenses for some of those 2000 PCs and share rendertime haha?

In any case, if we're going to render complex animation scenes with multiple characters with SSS/hair/displacement/et cetera, we're going to need a lot of GPU power...

I am really looking forward to 2.0!! Even though I'm just a hobbyist these days I'll be more than happy to pay for these new features.

I was hoping that they'd have implemented some sort of rendering technology based on the Random Parameter Filtering that was showcased back in late october. That would really help de-noise images a lot quicker.

Also some new procedural textures would have been nice too.

Huh, I had no idea. Always thought it was 3rd party because of how late the plugin started compared to Maya and 3ds Max. Thanks for the info!

Is this really happening? Few years back, it is just my belief that Octane will be the future...
Well, now my belief becomes true!

thanks OctaneRender Dev Team for taming the GPU beasts!

Some questions:

1) Will 2.0 play alongside 1.5 Standalone and the ~1.2 3dsmax plugin nicely? (Especially can we have a 2.0 3dsmax plugin alongside ~1.2 plugin installed?) As I would like to evaluate moving an existing project up to 2.0 but falling back to 1.5/1.2 if needed for whatever reason.

2) I *think* I heard talk that there were speed optimisations (Faster multiple lights? (Which would be most welcome!)) that might make it into 1.5 at some point that didn't seem to (1.5 seems slower than 1.2). Is 2.0 much faster than 1.2/1.5 and in what ways?

3) Will the 3dsmax plugin for 2.0 be available with the standalone 2.0 in April?

4) Does the displacement mapping *generally* have much of an impact on performance?

5) Can the hair work with standard 3dsmax hair in the 2.0 plugin?


I am hoping the release is in very early April as I can't wait to play with it
