Urbach pointed out the difference in price between this and something like Maxwell Render, which costs $1,000 and is slower than OTOY’s solution. The final product is available now for $199. “The quality is no different - in fact, it is perhaps even better - than what comes out of a cluster of high-end CPU render nodes rendering movie frames for a $200 million studio production.”įor the last year and a half, OTOY has had 45,000 artists working with Octane as part of an extended beta. “Bottom line, with Octane Render, it is now possible to render a photorealistic scene at 1080p in seconds with an off the shelf $350 video game card,” said Urbach.
This allows for real-time changes to exposure, depth of field, and other effects. That basically means it can perfectly reproduce lighting. This tech offers the artist an “unbiased” rendering engine.
OTOY promises results equal to anything coming out of Hollywood but at a drastically reduced cost and in much less time. Octane operates as a plug-in with popular 3D modeling and artistry software like Maya, Poser, and 3D Studio Max. It was designed from the ground up to tap into the massive - and cheap - computational and rendering power on recent consumer GPUs.” This is why Octane Render is so much faster than CPU-based rendering systems. None of the gains we see today would have been viable on consumer GPUs prior to 2010. “The terrific work done by the students and independent artists using Octane Render on their laptops and desktops speaks to that. “Octane Render enables movie quality rendering on any budget,” OTOY chief executive officer Jules Urbach told GamesBeat. While cloud computing can disrupt many local industries by bringing Silicon Valley power to remote locations, OTOY is using its research to squeeze more power out of the computer sitting on your desk. OTOY designed Octane as a rendering tool to work with common off-the-shelf graphics processors - like the kind from AMD and Nvidia that most people already have in their home workstation PCs.
OTOY, a cloud-based technologies company, released its Octane Render software today.
