Octane Render is a real-time 3D unbiased rendering application that was started by the New Zealand-based company Refractive Software, Ltd and OTOY took over in March 2012. The first non-beta stable version, v1.0, was released on 28 November 2012 and later versions of Octane Render continue to be deployed as a Web release software. It is the first commercially available unbiased renderer to work exclusively on the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and has the ability to work in real time. This allows users to modify materials, lighting and render settings “on the fly” because the rendering viewport updates immediately whenever a change is made. Octane Render runs exclusively on Nvidia's CUDA technology (which restricts it to running on video cards from Nvidia) although Octane Render 3.1 is planned to remove this restriction.

Overview

Octane Render is the first GPU-based unbiased renderer to be released to the public. It uses the graphics card to calculate all measures of light, reflection and refraction.

Acquisition

On 13 March 2012, it was announced that Refractive Software® has been acquired by the company “OTOY®”. OTOY is a company that specializes in cloud based technology. Development on Octane Render will continue as planned.
