You can read about new features of OctaneRender™ 2018.1 XB2 here:
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=70014


The installation consists from two parts:
1. OctaneRender™ Server
2. Blender - OctaneRender™ edition.

After starting OctaneServer it will take some time before the LiveDB tree and LiveDB material previews will be available from Blender - as OctaneServer caches the LiveDB data from remote server right after starting. But only the materials groups tree will be re-cached every time after server start, LiveDB material preview images will be cached only once - so only the very first OctaneServer start will need some more time before LiveDB tree will be available in Blender.
After the server is run - you can start rendering (or open a rendered view) from inside Blender.



Windows

DOWNLOAD (both distributives must be reinstalled, they depend on each other)

Blender Octane Edition - 17.0 (2.79)
Octane Server - 17.0
