Octane is the world’s first and fastest GPU-accelerated, physically-based renderer, supporting 25+ digital content creation tools, all of which can export ORBX cinematic content to Unity 2017 with lighting, shading and scene elements preserved from the cinematic pipeline. One can also export animated FBX files to Unity and render them in-engine with Octane. Octane upgrades Unity’s rendering capabilities by introducing a node-based workflow for spectral lighting, mediums and materials. Octane powers Unity 2017’s new PBR live path-traced viewport for WYSIWYG final rendering in editor and timeline.

OctaneRender for Unity brings photorealistic rendering directly into Unity’s Timeline:

• Speed: GPU-accelerated batch rendering

• Quality: unbiased, physically accurate renderer

• Flexibility: plugin support for 25+ DCC tools

• Path-Tracing: path-traced rendering for high resolution, low latency VR and AR

• Dynamic Viewport: integrated into Timeline for real-time 3D editing

• Octane Materials: custom Octane materials available in-engine

• Compositing Toolset: separate renders into multiple layers and passes for compositing

• Octane Imager: in-render color correction

• Post Processor: in-render 2D FX enhancements

• Integrated Stereo Rendering Options: panoramic, side-by-side, anaglyphic, over-under

Key Features

OctaneRender Recorder

Record animations and sequences from Timeline as either a movie file, or an ORBX package that can be rendered through OctaneRender Cloud (ORC) at the Studio and Creator levels with the selection of ORC.

OctaneRender Materials

Replace Unity shaders with custom shaders to step up scene quality immediately.

PBR (Physically-Based Rendering) Viewport

See the quality of cinematic output you will get with the final render dynamically as you update the scene.

The Node Editor

Leverage VFX-quality shading and lighting directly in Unity with a visual node-based workflow.

OctaneRender Cameras

Use multiple camera types and cinematic post-processing effects in Unity.

Path-Traced Lighting

Path-traced rendering that delivers physically-correct lighting for stunning scenes.

ORBX

Unity can now read OTOY’s ORBX file format, a 3D interchange format that includes materials and shaders in addition to geometry, and is already compatible with 25+ content creation tools.

OctaneRender Ecosystem

OctaneRender Studio and OctaneRender Creator packages include OctaneRender for After Effects and OctaneRender for Nuke, and unlock access to plugins for 25+ DCCs, such as Cinema 4D, Maya, or Houdini; you can also select OctaneRender Cloud (ORC) to harness the power of GPUs in the cloud.
