This Render engine is amazing in term of both speed, quality and interactivity. I am a Blender user, and owner of a Indigo license as well and I had never done image of the same level of quality so fast and with so few efforts. I became an Octane addict in one week, and the next Nvidia Fermi cards will allow rendering around 6 to 8 times faster than I can currently render with my 8800. The only unknown area is the way Octane will allow to render animations, but I'm almost sure that we will be informed in a closed future. If you have some doubts about Octane, have a look to the images displayed in the competition section of their site, or to the images on my own website. I have no commercial links with Octane, I'm only a very impressed and grateful user. Best regards, Philippe Roubal.

A Tesla and a 100 euro license is not so cheap anymore, is it? The real problem is the maximum of 2GB memory size on affordable cards. A Tesla and a 100 euro license is not so cheap anymore, is it?

I was interested a lot in that GPU renderer , but I realy not recomend to even think about this software - octane renderer - because thair makers are realy not professional and childlish, after few posts asking about error what apears in te rendered pictures they said "that this posts are not alowed because it looks bad about thair software, after explaining that my posts are only explain potencial customers what they can expect for alpha version, OCTANE MAKERS banned my account. Realy this is not professional and chaidlish bechaviour not fit to doftware what you can put in your pipeline. Think about that in production are always problems and errors apear, and If my projects or projects my customers will be crashed because of not professional support from side which are building this software, I lost a money , lose customers and propobly my company too so try to understad that I not recomend software wich are not professional supported... Conclusion: software with futrure when makers and support will be professional. UniqueD Hello , I`m a VFX supervisor of company in middle europe working hard with film/commercials industry.

Not only that, but everyone is getting on the GPU bandwagon - I think I'll stick with the big boys like Fry and Indigo who have proven that they implement decent and hack-free code.

Go back to make things simple and do not divide them in thousend different possibilities. GPU sounds for me like a huge step in rendertechnology. We will see what the future brings :-) Kind regards BTW:

Simple GUI, amazing real-time rendering, and easy-to-use object/color selection. Wonder how it works with animations? Awesome. :) This looks quite friendly.
