If you're currently using standard or physical rendering in Cinema4D, you know that sometimes a single frame can take minutes to render for a simple scene. One of the great things about GPU rendering technology is how fast you can render an image compared to CPU rendering. If you're looking for a compare and contrast of render engines, we'll have one of those for you too in the coming weeks. These articles are meant to present facts so you can make an informed decision in your career. The Benefits of Using Octane in Cinema 4D Similar to Arnold, but using GPU technology. Simplified, Octane is a GPU render engine that uses a way of calculating final rendered images that aims to be photo-realistic. Otoy writes, “OctaneRender® is the world’s first and fastest GPU-accelerated, unbiased, physically correct renderer.” There are definitely some terms used in this article series that may sound a bit geeky, so we created a 3D Motion Design Glossary if you find yourself stumped by anything written below. This will be a good starter if you've never heard of Octane or if you're curious about using Octane in Cinema 4D. And with Octane 3.0 we provide integration to a beta version of the new Octane Render Cloud to scale for all of your on-demand GPU compute needs.In this article we will introduce you to Otoy's Octane Render Engine. Attached to your editing tools? No problem! Octane supports more than 21 plugins and has a fully interactive, real-time 3D editing viewport. Use OctaneRender to create images of the highest possible quality at speeds up to 50x faster than CPU-based, unbiased renderers.

The release also incorporates important industry standards for GPU rendering, including Open Shader Language (OpenSL) and OpenVDB for particle simulation. Features include volumetric light field primitives and deep motion buffers for high frame rate VR rendering. The release of the new OctaneRender 3, brings new state-of-the-art tools never seen before in any production renderer. With Octane’s parallel compute capabilities, you can create stunning works in a fraction of the time.

What does that mean? It means that Octane uses the graphics card in your computer to render photo-realistic images super fast. OctaneRender is the world’s first and fastest GPU-accelerated, unbiased, physically correct renderer. Octane Render 3.07 R2 plugin for Cinema 4D is a GPU base renderer
