Otoy® is proud to announce the availability of a new version of OctaneRender™ for Maya®
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 2013, 2013.5 / 32-bit & 64-bit, 2014 64-bit and 2015 64-bit on MS Windows operating systems.

Notes regarding features/functionality

OctaneRender™ for Maya® implements almost full functionality of OctaneRender™ standalone inside Maya®.

COMPATIBILITY AND OCTANERENDER STANDALONE REQUIREMENT

To run OctaneRender™ for Maya®, you need to also have an activated OctaneRender™ Standalone copy activated on the machine you wish to install the plugin onto.
You cannot purchase and use only the Maya plugin and use it without also owning an activated copy of OctaneRender™ Standalone on your machine.


HOW TO PURCHASE LICENSES

Go to our online shop here: http://render.otoy.com/shop/

If you do not own an OctaneRender™ Standalone Edition License yet:
You can purchase both the OctaneRender™ Standalone Edition and the OctaneRender™ for Maya® Edition as a reduced price bundle, purchase the bundle priced at 459€

If you already own one or more OctaneRender™ Standalone Edition licenses you want to pair the plugin with:
Purchase an "OctaneRender™ for Maya® License" priced at 199€

You can also purchase a 3, 5 or 10 pack of OctaneRender™ for Maya® licenses, just like OctaneRender™ Standalone Edition packs.


OCTANELIVE

Just like OctaneRender™ Standalone, the Maya® plugin product also needs an additional OctaneLive license and be activated on a machine.
This has to be done in the plugin interface panel in Maya, and is covered in the included PDF manual.
It can only be done after an OctaneRender™ Standalone license is already activated on the machine in question.

CHANGES AND FIXES SINCE LAST RELEASE:

• Switched to Maya 2015 ext1 sp5 for Linux.

Hi Jimstar, it seems that the refraction of some objects will render differentlty depending on their position in world space.
I ended up figuring it out in this thread. Thanks!

Anyone else?

I am getting the same thing. Maya locks up until I force quit. It even happens if I import an old sun/sky from another file. Or happens immediately when I click the 'Create Octane sun/sky environment node' from the OctaneRender shelf.

Glad it is not just me.

Jimstar... any idea when you might get around to fixing this one?

Thanks

hmmm, mine is not freezing, what Maya version are you using?

Win 7 64 bit Pro
Maya 2015 SP4

ah, I am using Maya 2014 on Win 7, so it must be a 2015 problem

Must be. I am using Maya 2015 SP5
