OTOY Forums

Hi, I'm testing the only demo available so far and I had to hug exporting from Max and troubleshooting with materials (I so far used Vray and 98% of my scenes are from Vray but I actually model using Rhino so my first question is:

WIll Octane be Vray material compatible?

Lights compatibility has been already asked in this forum so I know that I will be waiting to check future releases.

How you compare Octane (or thinking to get closer) to Arion? (I wish they released a demo...)

I'm asking this last because RandomControl has a huge material database (like Vray) and a simple export without problems of reset materials through your interface would benefit a great deal...



I'm after a GTX470 Fermi though I'll may go for a GTX285 instead, Fermi gfx cards can get terribly HOT (so far every review has not been good about it) and they easy reach 71° in idle???? not to mention the 210V that would mean buy of a new Power Supply etc... LOL! check this link out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASu3Xw6JM1w

I know the speed will increase QUITE a LOT but how exactly? any benchmark on a benchmark scene? let's do one so that we can go for a little comparison

Thanks!!

Arion, too slow. Octane, too fast.

I trust what you say but what about a real comparison, have you tried Arion?

Yes, I did.

I am interested in this issue, too.
Rad, could you let us know?

wow..lucky man, I wish I could manage to test it,really stupid from randomcontrol not to handle a demo.

I see you got 4 GTX295 (!!!) did not know you can put 4 in a row...

My budget is limited, but I guess that comparing my actual rendertimes with Vry I would definitely benefit from Octane surely..

Again..I think someone should make a Benchmark Scene

I agree with you. If it was exsited, I could save money.

Hi,

beta2 will offer more material import options via OBJ's MTL format, with additional controls to set import functionality, and import opacity and bump maps.

in beta3 we will introduce a new system that will knock the socks off all existing material library systems like max, vray and arion have.
it's an idea i've been developing for a while and i can't say anything about it for now, to avoid competition copying it.

There are some main boards can support 4 double slot GPUs, and they are,
ASUS Supercomputer, MSI GD70 and so on.

sigh!....I'm a poor boy wish I could afford this...but I'm sure that a good GTX295 will be enough for the time being...

I think I will buy Octane tomorrow...
