Octane’s Live Viewer window shows updates as you make them, allowing for instant feedback. Instead of being limited to a compartmentalized work structure (create, render, observe, edit as necessary, render again, and so on), we now see our creations instantly with Octane’s progressive rendering capabilities. Not only has it decreased our production time allowing for more output, it is also changing the nature of our workflow. Processing time is now 10 to 50 times faster than before, depending on the operation at hand, making it possible to have both the incredible quality of an unbiased engine plus the speed previously only available through biased systems. This ingenious method of adding processing power is a revolution in 3D rendering. This engine uses your computer’s graphics cards, making rendering exceptionally fast. Instead of using your CPU to process renders, Octane is GPU accelerated. Whenever beginning a new project, we would have to decide whether a biased or unbiased engine would best suit our needs. On the other hand, an unbiased render engine doesn’t allow for user-set parameters, rather it always automatically accounts for all of the image data available, resulting in superior quality while compromising speed. In other words, you can increase speed by cutting as many corners as you choose. This biased system renders in real-time without sacrificing visual quality.īy nature, biased systems allow the user to preset rendering parameters, creating limits imposed by the user’s bias.

Octane Render, made by OTOY, is the world’s first unbiased, real-time 3D render engine for Cinema 4D.

Lately, we've been using the Octane Render plugin for Cinema 4D and it's become a real game-changer for our 3D content development.
