The release of the new OctaneRender 3, brings new state-of-the-art tools never seen before in any production renderer. Features include volumetric light field primitives and deep motion buffers for high frame rate VR rendering.  The release also incorporates important industry standards for GPU rendering, including Open Shader Language (OpenSL) and OpenVDB for particle simulation.

Use OctaneRender to create images of the highest possible quality at speeds up to 50x faster than CPU-based, unbiased renderers. Attached to your editing tools? No problem! Octane supports more than 21 plugins and has a fully interactive, real-time 3D editing viewport. And with Octane 3.0 we provide integration to a beta version of the new Octane Render Cloud to scale for all of your on-demand GPU compute needs.

 Volumetric Rendering
OctaneRender v3 supports rendering of particulate matter such as clouds, smoke, fog and fire with varying densities and introduces a unique native primitive type for incredibly detailed micro-surface displacement volumes and surfaces required to render photo-realistic natural and organic materials.

Deep Pixel Rendering
OctaneRender 3 adds deep pixel rendering support as well as live connecting of DCC and compositing apps through the OctaneRender for NUKE plugin.

Live Texture Baking
OctaneRender v3 supports unbiased GPU texture baking (UV or volumetric) of global illumination, spherical harmonics and 8D light fields.
