Can I build an .exe game rendered in Octane?

[cocacola123]

Hello, I am a complete noob in unity and I need a little help!
I made a game in unity with some environments and objects and I would like it to be rendered in octane. I can see it rendered in PBR Render Target, and now I would like to build the project as an .exe file, so I can play it later.
The question is: Is it possible to have an .exe game rendered in octane? If so, do I just build it through File > Build Settings, or is there something else I should do?
If it's impossible to render .exe with octane, and there other renderers that can do it with a similar quality?


Another problem, when I try to build the project I get these 3 errors:

1. ArgumentException: The Assembly UnityEditor is referenced by Editor ('Assets/Plugins/Octane/Editor.dll'). But the dll is not allowed to be included or could not be found.
UnityEditor.AssemblyHelper.AddReferencedAssembliesRecurse (System.String assemblyPath, System.Collections.Generic.List`1[T] alreadyFoundAssemblies, System.String[] allAssemblyPaths, System.String[] foldersToSearch, System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[TKey,TValue] cache, UnityEditor.BuildTarget target) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/AssemblyHelper.cs:154)

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:processEvent(Int32, IntPtr) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:179)

2. Build completed with a result of 'Failed'
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:processEvent(Int32, IntPtr) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:179)

3. UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow+BuildMethodException: 3 errors
at UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow+DefaultBuildMethods.BuildPlayer (UnityEditor.BuildPlayerOptions options) [0x00242] in C:\buildslave\unity\build\Editor\Mono\BuildPlayerWindowBuildMethods.cs:190

These errors only appear when I try to build when Octane is loaded on the project.
Please use simple words since I am completely new to this.
Thank you for your time,

Octane for unity does not function outside of the editor. So building it to an .exe is not possible.

Unfortunately, Octane Render doesn't support exporting Unity projects as .exe files directly. You can use it to render high-quality images or videos, but for interactive games, consider using Unity's HDRP or URP for similar quality.
Regarding the build errors, it seems like you're trying to include an Editor-only DLL in your build. Make sure to remove any unnecessary plugins from the build process. Once you fix that, you should be able to build your project successfully.
