Octane Render is a real-time 3D rendering software that utilizes the unbiased rendering technologies to produce photorealistic images. It is the first unbiased renderer to be fully dependent on the GPU. It is currently being developed by Refractive Software.
History
Octane render was originally created by Terrence Vergauwen, who also contributed to the development of LuxRender and Indigo Renderer.
Overview
Octane render is the worlds first GPU based, unbiased renderer. It uses the full power and potential of the GPU to calculate all measures of light, reflection and refraction.
Features
- Real-time User Interface
- Full Spectral/Unbiased Quality
- True GPU Based, Not Accelerated, Not Hybrid
- Real-time, Accurate Materials
- Built-in Animation
- Customizable Integration
- Choose your default obj import settings.
- You can choose your 3D package integration controls .
- It holds the following:
- Maya
- 3DS Max
- Soft Image
- Cinema 4D
- Blender 2.4/2.5
- Formz
- Moi3D
- Sketch up
- Rhino 3D
- Houdini
- Lightwave 3D
- Flexible Node Graph
- Depth of field
- Live Material Database
- Users can make and upload materials to the Live DB. So other users can use them in there projects.
