We are happy to bring you OctaneRender 2025.3. This version brings new improvements and bugfixes. Thanks again to all those who sent us feedback and continuously help us to improve Octane.

Important notes:
- The minimum NVIDIA driver version required is R528 (R572 for GeForce RTX50 Series).
- The minimum version of macOS required is 14.5. It will soon be raised to 15.
Improvements
- The built-in input
isImageProjection
has been made available in OSL shaders.
- Fixed black edges where Vectron objects and meshes intersect.
- Fixed wrong transforms used when connecting the same transform node to multiple projections.
- Fixed render node crash happening when using some setups.
- Fixed USDZ scenes that loaded empty when loaded from an ORBX package.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when picking a Vectron (e.g. with the object or camera focus pickers) on macOS.
- Fixed a crash that was happening when loading a USDZ file from an ORBX package.
- Fixed errors in the log when some nodes have no projection node connected.
- Fixed freeze on MacOS when rendering invisible volumes.
- Fixed 2024.1 compatibility mode for projection nodes when using OSL projection nodes. 2025.1 and 2025.2 produced the wrong UV mapping for these nodes in 2024.1 compatibility mode, this output will not be reproduced by any compatibility mode going forward.
