Currently, Octane Render requires a CUDA enabled Nvidia video card to be installed. Octane Render supports all major platforms and runs with Window XP, Vista, 7, 8 (32 or 64 bit), Linux 64 bit and MacOS X. The company claims speed increases of 10x to 15x over traditional CPU based unbiased engines. Octane Render offers GPU-based unbiased renders in realtime on your graphics card. The update looks promising already, but a title at the end says there is still much to do, “texture baking” “animation” and “live DB”. As a pièce de résistance HowieFarkes’ NOBLE PINES full environment scene is opened in Carrara and rendered by Octane, although limits of the automated material conversion become apparent. A small Terrain with several instances of trees demonstrates Octane’s depth-of-field. Trees from Carrara’s Plant Modeler are replicated. Remarkably, Carrara’s native shader appeared to pass the imagemap textures to Octane as well. A menu item will batch convert shaders, but it is not obvious from the video whether converting improved render speed or quality. One of the shaders is converted to the plugin’s Octane Materials Shader tree, which helpfully preserves the original shader in a sub-tree until Octane’s shaders are activated. The video demonstrates some JAW DROPPING NEAR-REALTIME updates between Carrara’s Assembly Room and Octane’s GPU-powered unbiased renderer.ĭAZ 3D’s Millennium Dragon 2 model is loaded in Carrara and posed. Plugin author Simon Guard posted a second video showing his progress with the Octane Render plugin for Carrara. The testing phase will take “a few weeks” and when it’s done the plugin will then be released as an ongoing beta product. It currently supports Windows 7 & 8 preferably 64-bit, and Carrara 8+ (64bit Pro preferred). On February 3rd, Otoy put out a limited call for beta testers for their Octane Render plugin. “Today we’re proud to announce that an integrated plug-in is being developed for Carrara from DAZ 3D by Simon Guard….Ĭarrara users will be pleased to know that they will soon be able to experience OctaneRender’s dazzling speed and quality from inside DAZ 3D’s Carrara, allowing an instantaneous photoreal preview of the scene while editing cameras, lights, materials and objects in the scene.” (more…) *UPDATE* Octane Render for Carrara – “a few weeks” awayīy Holly Wetcircuit | | Carrara Plugins, NewsĬarrara will have a new GPU render option soon, according to an announcement on Octane Render’s website!
