Octane Render: Fast, Physically Accurate Rendering

GPU-based, unbiased rendering software with exceptional speed and quality, optimized for NVIDIA RTX graphics cards.

What is Octane Render?

Octane Render is a standalone unbiased physically based renderer that runs on one or multiple NVIDIA RTX GPUs. It provides unrivaled speed and image quality for ray traced rendering applications. Some key features of Octane Render include:

- High-performance GPU acceleration: Octane is optimized to take advantage of NVIDIA RTX technology for extreme performance gains over CPU based rendering

- Physically based lighting and materials: Materials and lights behave realistically by using measured physical parameters, ensuring authentic results

- PCIe and NVLink support: Scale across multiple GPUs with full support of high-speed interconnect technologies

- Integration with popular 3D applications: Octane provides plugins for seamlessly integrating into modeling and animation applications like Cinema 4D, 3ds Max, Houdini, and Blender

- Interactive and progressive path tracing: Iteratively refine renders interactively and get feedback quickly during modeling and scene setup for maximum productivity

With continual performance optimizations and rapidly adopted industry standard features like AI denoising, Octane Render continues to push the limits for GPU accelerated photorealistic rendering.
