Otoy® is proud to announce the availability of a new test version of OctaneRender™ for Maya® Version 2019.1
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 2016.5, 2017, 2018 and 2019 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 2019.1 are here:
OctaneRender Standalone 2019.1 XB2


Changes since version 14.X:

• Implemented the support of 2019.1 XB2 rendering engine.

KNOWN ISSUES:

• The new up-scaling feature sometimes fails to render correctly, sometimes with GPU crashing. This is the Octane engine bug that will be fixed in next rendering engine releases.
• 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.

Is this the version that boasts 60 fps on RTX cards, because I just did a test and the render time is literally the exact same.

I've had good luck with this thus far.
Still not seeing Spectron as an option in Maya. Am I missing something?
Love the shadow catcher material. A nice Surprise.

Yes. This is a "builtin scriptgraph" node.
