Otoy® is proud to announce the availability of a new OctaneRender™ for Maya® Version 2020.1
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 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 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 419.17 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 are here:
OctaneRender Standalone 2020.1


Changes since version 17.15:

• Integrated the 2020.1 rendering engine.
• Fixed the settings' issue: the out-of-core size input fields were treated as bytes instead of megabytes.

You need to be sure the prior stable versions are UNINSTALLED before installing this one (because it installs Octane AS A MODULE now).
The installer will attempt to do this automatically for you, but if you prefer to arrange/install the files manually, this might be an issue.

It's like Christmas all over again.

Thanks OTOY

Out-of-core works fine now! Thanks. Waiting for this fix for v4 and 2019

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Hey Jim,

this version also has a problem with the layers batch rendering.
I tried 17.15 also had the problem. On 17.14 the problem was not saving second layer and in 17.15 and 17.16 the first layer is a problem.
It looks like it has low samples. Still the same issue as before just different layers.

Braca
Does it happen for you with the same scene you gave me previously? I can't reproduce it with this scene, all layers are rendered with full samples on my side...
But I haven't got the full scene from you, all the referenced files/textures were not provided...

jim no it happened with different scene different file. Yeah I sent it without anything since I can also reproduce it with just a sphere and a plane literally. Let me do some further investigation today and then I will give you the report.
I need to mention that I also have denoising enabled.

Hello.
Right now in the maya plugin the area and sphere lights are not implemented, at least, they can't be generated in maya.
Is there any idea about when they are going to be integrated into maya?.
Thanks
