Description

OctaneRender® stands out as the first and fastest unbiased GPU rendering engine in the world, known for its spectrally accurate results that surpass any other production renderer currently available. OTOY® is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of graphics technology through innovative machine learning enhancements, comprehensive out-of-core geometry support, and impressive speed improvements ranging from 10 to 100 times in the scene graph. The addition of RTX raytracing GPU hardware acceleration offers remarkable render speed boosts of 2 to 5 times when utilizing NVIDIA raytracing GPUs, supporting multiple GPUs for enhanced performance. These speed improvements are particularly noticeable in more intricate scenes and can be assessed using RTX OctaneBench®. Furthermore, the updated layered material system permits users to create complex materials composed of a base layer and up to eight additional layers stacked on top, enhancing creative possibilities. Additionally, the introduction of new nodes such as layered material, diffuse layer, specular layer, sheen layer, metallic layer, and layer group nodes enriches the toolset available for artists. This comprehensive update not only enhances the functionality but also significantly expands the creative potential within OctaneRender®.
