Otoy® is proud to announce the availability of a new test version of OctaneRender™ for Maya®: OctaneRender™ 2020.1
The world's fastest and most feature-rich unbiased render engine that integrates completely into Autodesk® Maya®.

Maya® Version Requirements

This release will work with Maya® Versions 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 64-bit on Windows, Linux and OSX operating systems.


To use this version, you need a GPU of compute model 3.0 or higher. Support for Fermi GPUs (like GTX 4xx and 5xx) has been dropped. Also make sure you use a driver of version 387 or higher and if you are working on Mac OS that have a CUDA driver installed that supports at least CUDA 9.1.


Changelog and the installers for Octane Standalone 2020.1 are here:
OctaneRender Standalone 2020.1 RC1


Changes since versions 17.9:

• Fixed few Linux issues.

KNOWN ISSUES:

• "CUDA error 700" and other CUDA errors are expected to happen from time to time: these are the Octane engine's bugs. Should be fixed with later SDK/Standalone versions...
• Due to some inconsistency on the rendering engine level the builtin-scriptgraph nodes are not going to be present in the plugin. At least at this stage.

octane for maya will be compatible with render setup and render layers?

[hgarrou]

To Tharso, try the demo. Octane works through the render options like any other renderer, and it uses it's own passes to replace render layers.

This is a big chunk of work to re-implement all this. But I'm definitely going to look into it in later versions...

great news, maybe the light should have a option legacy lights and vectron lights?

Right now I can use by using the orbx proxy but is not ideal cause I can't do the keys for animation on inside the proxy. ( at least I don't know how).

Could we have a update of the new engine Please? RC2

Best,
JO
