Nos sorprenden con un nuevo motor de render. Ésta vez, uno espectral (al estilo Maxwell/Fry), pero en tiempo real, basado en las GPU's de nVidia con CUDA.

Dicen multiplicar por 10x ó 15x la velocidad de los tradicionales motores no condicionados (unbiased), usando los nucleos de procesamiento de la GPU.

Las características son las de siempre en los motores de éstas características:


Currently implemented features in OctaneRender, features marked with a '**' are planned for implementation in the upcoming v1.0 release.

ENGINE

- Physically based / Spectral Light Transport
- Unbiased and directlighting/ambient occlusion

- Alpha channel rendering with real-time UI compositing over images**
- support for multiple GPU's**
