56 Xeon CPU threads with up to 1.5 TB of out-of-core memory surpasses (by far) the maximum scene capacity available on even the most expensive AWS GPU rendering nodes on ORC today.Peer-to-peer GPU memory pool of at 1/TB second allows production scenes with up to 64 GB of geometry to render at maximum speed in VRAM.Today Octane users are directing Star Wars films, creating Emmy-award winning television and designing the world’s most popular consumer hardware. OctaneRender kicked off a rendering revolution in 2010 – democratizing real time rendering for millions of artists. That means that artists are rendering final frames as fast as they can create them. This makes photoreal CG as in real time is as easy as pointing and shooting a real camera. Octane X is built on the industry’s first and fastest unbiased GPU render engine, following the laws of physics and light precisely.

Octane X is truly a labor of love, and we can’t wait to get it into the hands of our Mac and iOS customers later this year“ continued Urbach. “Octane X will be leveraging the unprecedented performance of the new Mac Pro to take interactive and production GPU rendering for film, TV, motion graphics, and AR/VR to a whole new level. We couldn’t be prouder to have Apple reveal the results of this multi-year collaboration to the world today at WWDC.” said Jules Urbach, CEO of OTOY. OTOY has been working with Apple to perfect Octane on Metal. “Like so many Octane users, we care about the Mac, passionately. It is the culmination of a long and deep collaboration with Apple’s world-class engineering teams.

Octane X accelerates modern creative workflows with ACES, OCIO and deep pixel EXR rendering, a powerful node-based material, shader and scene graph editor, and the industry’s most advanced production ready AI Denoiser.Octane X has been rebuilt from the ground up in Metal for the all-new Mac Pro and the latest generation iPad Pro. This exclusive version of Octane X for the App Store features multi-GPU rendering, network rendering (through an additional Octane Enterprise Render Node license) and Apple M1 native GPU rendering support. Octane X is optimized for maximum rendering performance on AMD Polaris, Vega and Navi GPUs as well as Intel SkyLake GPUs on macOS Big Sur 11.1 and later. Some introductory material is available on our forum: Octane X is the world’s first and fastest unbiased, spectrally-correct GPU production renderer for macOS, built from the ground up for maximum performance on Apple Metal and Apple Silicon, and empowering artist workflows across visual effects, motion graphics, gaming, design, concept art and architectural visualization.
