Octane Cloud

[coilbook]

It's coming sooner than V3. We are planning to launch orc.otoy.com publicly with a limited free trial to all OR v2 customers during 2.x as we gather data and prepare for a full commercial launch in the V3 release. We want the service to be cheaper to users than going out and buying a GPU to get this extra rendering power, and also focusing on render jobs that are very hard to do even on $10K+ GPU render farms - including 18K renders, animations (with one GPU per frame), and soon light field renders and object baking (both with mutli-light).

that sounds sooooo gooood!!! makes me happy.

will the cloud be also available from all the plugins? i'm on c4d-octane and animation only. a one button solution as if i would hit render within c4d on my machine would simply be amazing!

One GPU per frame? But can you still render like 30 frames at once with 30 GPUs?

That is correct. See the GTC presentation video. This is how ORC handles animations efficiently. You get back miltiple animation frames at once as thumbnails to scrub through as they render.

Right now orc.otoy.com is a web page that you drop your ORBX files into for render jobs. Down the line, we would like to support exactly what you are asking for, i.e. connecting to orc.otoy.com directly from apps and plug-ins. We can't promise a time-frame just yet, but can at least confirm that it is on our wish list too. When/if we do this, it will be done right.

AMAZING!. just for information... im not familiar with orbx files. is there a simple way to export my c4d-project with all models/materials and animation to an orbx to render it in the cloud before the one button solution will be available?
