“Using Octane has been at the cornerstone of swatchbook’s material visualization for years. Moving to Octane X on macOS Metal has been totally seamless. “Integrating OTOY’s rendering technology natively on Apple hardware, and empowering hundreds of millions of potential new creators, is a huge step towards realizing this dream – one we’ve been working on for nearly a decade to make happen here at OTOY.” What users say “I started OTOY to democratize content creation, imagining that artists might one day render 3D graphics at the same fidelity as Hollywood blockbusters – but on any budget, in real time and from anywhere in the world. “Like so many Octane artists, I began my journey in computer graphics on the Mac,” said Jules Urbach, CEO of OTOY in a press release. Octane X is fully compatible with macOS Catalina and will be available for free for new users on Macs with the release of macOS Big Sur coming this fall. This is a huge step that means the industry’s leading unbiased GPU renderer will soon be available to millions of Macs powered by Apple’s Metal graphics technology – and delivering the industry’s fastest OctaneBenchscore ever recorded for a single slot graphics card. C4D, Blender, etc., no problem.The application has been completely rebuilt using Apple’s Metal Graphics API, and fully optimized for performance on AMD Vega and Navi GPUs across Mac Pro, iMac Pro, iMac and MacBook Pro computers. I was wondering if you've tested any further and what your overall opinion is.Īlso, I've downloaded DAZ's Octane Tool Kit, but I can't find any trial version of Octane itself on their site for DAZ. Might need to ask with RiverSoft -)Īnybody has a tip for a good image sharing option working well with the forums so that I can integrate the test renders? And of course a solution which helps to convert iRay textures and settings somehow. Hopefully the DAZ integration is coming soon. I am quite impressed and absolutely looking forward to their integrations. And that with a 5500M which only has about 80 OBs (which is obviously kind of an equivalent to Cuda Cores). And the ones taking longer hat acceptable results after 1 minute. Some of the test renders were done <1 minute. OK so there is a (limited) free preview of Octane X.
