OctaneRender for Unity brings photorealistic cinematic rendering directly into the Unity Editor. In-render color correction. Octane Plugins: what are the.
Otoy has rolled out Nuke and After Effects support for OctaneVR, the subscription-only version of OctaneRender, its GPU-based production renderer. Unlike OctaneVR’s existing integrations with DCC and CAD tools, the Nuke and After Effects plugins – the latter of which is still officially in alpha – are free to all OctaneVR subscribers.
An online-only, rental-only alternative to perpetual licences of OctaneRender On its, OctaneVR was pitched as an edition of OctaneRender designed for creating virtual reality experiences as opposed to offline visual effects. However, since the core feature set is identical, and since OctaneRender supports 360-degree output, it has effectively evolved into a subscription scheme for users who don’t want to buy perpetual licences. It’s more restricted than OctaneRender: you have to stay online at all times to connect to the licence server, you can only use up to two GPUs, and network rendering is not supported. However, it does come with its own dedicated option for Octane Render Cloud (ORC), Otoy’s cloud-based rendering service, which can also compress rendered footage for.
New free Nuke and After Effects plugins, alongside paid plugins for most common 3D software Unlike OctaneRender, OctaneVR isn’t available as a standalone renderer: you rent it as a combo package along with the connectivity plugin for a 3D application. At the time of writing, the list includes 3ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, DAZ Studio, Houdini, LightWave, Modo and Poser, along with a range of CAD tools. The new Nuke and After Effects plugins are the first integrations to be available free, and can be downloaded by any OctaneVR user with an active subscription. The Nuke version is also noteworthy in that the is commercial, and priced at $269 on top of the core software. Pricing and availability The Nuke and After Effects plugins are free downloads for users with active OctaneVR subscriptions.
The After Effects version is still in alpha, and has a. Subscriptions cost $20/month for the renderer plus one of the commercial integration plugins, as does a subscription to ORC for OctaneVR. The software is CUDA-based, so you’ll need a.
Currently there is a where users can share their needs. Yes, that's the one.
After further thought, as exciting as it is to finally have plugin support for 3rd party renders in 3D Coat, it would probably be best to first focus on getting AMD's Pro Render fully integrated as the default Render engine (as a defacto replacement for the current one). It's a full-fledged, physically based GPU render, that is OpenCL based, so it can work on either an NVidia or AMD card. Octane is still CUDA/Nvidia only. Carrots is already working on the Renderman plugin, and it's pretty exciting, but it still requires a Renderman license. For me the big challenge is to have compatibility shaders in render room, not only visualization but real shader that can be easily shared with other app. Linear display, LUT table.
Interoperability with any other software used in the pipeline is therefore a prerequisite. For now, I think it just uses a standard Renderman material.sort of like a VRay material.
Not sure what the plans are for exporting or saving the material/render settings, so they can be used in other apps with the same render engine. But in fairness, even VRay doesn't quite allow such interoperability between apps. For example, I cannot export a 3ds Max scene with VRay Materials, lights and cameras into Modo and expect everything to translate over. You still pretty much have to set things up, manually, in each app. One can copy VRaymat files using some kind of technique, but you still have to set the scene up, yourself. There is no translator from one app to the other.
