OTOY Forums

Hello,
i tried to find some information on the forum but to be honnest it is not very clear for me.
I will need to render 650 frames in HD about one hour/frame. The scene will be setup in maya 2014 and render of course with Octane.
I'll need a remote render farm to be able to render in the needed quality.
Would it be possible with the OTOY cloud service?
And If it is, could you tell me how it is working and how much would it be.
Thanks a lot,
nico

Unfortunately the cloud service with Octane is not available yet. Its the only option for what you want unless you can find someone on the forum with a good rig to help you.

Hi Cox,

I may be able to help you out.

I'm running maya 2015, but still have 2014.
Running on 6 Titan Black's.

Drop me a PM if you're interested.

cheers.

edit:
Apologies. I didn't realise we couldn't offer a service. Just trying to help out, sorry.

they said to give some new this week about OCE OctaneCloud Edition =) hope that will be in time to help You..otherwise, Karovka offered a way.. (though by OTOY, You're not allowed to rent Your licence - provide a servese =) so better make that quite =DDD..

Thanks for your answers.
So I am definitely don't understanding or misunderstanding something about that:
https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00FGB1VTC
"cloud desktop solution specifically designed for streaming high-end 3D graphics applications"
So this is not possible to use this service as a render farm?

The ADSK AMI that worked with Octane has been deprecated by ADSK; so we are migrating everything to X.IO app streaming (already in private beta via invite on X.IO). This will be what Octane users will want to use (vs. AWS developers).

Going forward, Octane CE and 3rd party host apps+Octane plug-ins will stream on demand from X.IO 'automagically', i.e. within seconds of being launched from a web page. This will be a one-click turn key solution for app streaming/cloud rendering. It will further support per minute pricing, and remove the complexity of having to do this yourself on AWS if you are not a developer.

You can see an X.IO beta tester provide a review of their experience with X.IO+ ADSK Revit here:

Once Octane CE moves out of public beta, we will roll out more multi-GPU options and pricing models.

Hi Prodviz,
Why can't you?

I might have misread Glimpse, about not being allowed to provide a service?

You're not permitted to offer a CLOUD service. But if Nico sends you files for rendering, he would become you client. You'd be offering him the benefits of the services you offer any other client which you are able to do precisely because you have an Octane license and the skill (and hardware) to use it. As long as you use your own license to do rendering work, and do not allow a third party to use it over the internet, you're doing what we all do and what the software was intended for.

Best,
Seeker

I am also in need of a Lightwave Octane render Farm, any news on that AWS migration?
Thanks!
Btw, I just bought Octane and it rocks!
