However, several major planned features haven’t made it to the stable release, including the integration of the new Brigade spectral rendering kernel. Other changes in the stable release include a new Cryptomatte mask output AOV, for creating masks based on matte ID selections in a Cryptomatte render AOV.īrigade and multi-rendering now due in separate releases

There are also 16 new procedural textures, while Vectron, OctaneRender’s procedural geometry system, gets seven new 3D primitives and five new operators, including Clip, Intersect and Offset. More procedural textures and Vectron operators Vectron, OctaneRender’s procedural geometry system, gets five new Boolean operators for combining volumes, on top of the existing Subtract and Union operators. We covered the key features when OctaneRender 2022.1 XB0, the initial public alpha of the software, was released last year, so check out our original story for more details. It “provides a familiar interface” for anyone used to Arnold’s Standard Volume, and offers finer control than the existing OctaneRender Volume medium, including the option to use texture maps with most inputs. Other major features include a new Standard Volume medium for volumetric effects like clouds. Using the new ubermaterial for shading should ensure greater visual parity between output from OctaneRender and other renderers that support the specification, like Arnold.

The update also adds a layered Standard Surface material based on the Autodesk Standard Surface spec. Key changes in OctaneRender 2022.1 include a new photon tracing kernel, which Otoy describes as making rendering caustics “about 1000x faster” than the previous implementation. New photon tracing kernel, Standard Surface material and Standard volume medium OctaneRender 2022.1’s new photon tracing kernel (right) generates less noisy caustic effects than the existing PMC system (left) even at lower sample counts, speeding up calculation of caustics. The release coincides with the launch of the firm’s new Studio+ subscriptions to the software, which replace perpetual licences and Otoy’s old subscription plans.

Otoy has released OctaneRender 2022.1, the latest version of the GPU production renderer, adding a new photon tracing kernel and a new layered ubermaterial based on Autodesk’s Standard Surface specification.
