#OCTANE RENDER FOR DAZ STUDIO FREE#
If then available via Octane in DAZ at the Free tier (doubtful, but possible) then AnimeRender might open up easy comics rendering from DAZ Studio, and with more or less the same ease as Poser 11’s existing real-time Comic Book mode. But let’s assume that AnimeRender does what it sounds like, an NPR toon render that is i) not fiddly to set up or use ii) can be used with just a few clicks without having to manually re-texture figures with toon materials iii) has a quality and style that would be commercially-viable in terms of appealing to regular comics readers. * There’s also an even hazier mention that OctaneRender 2021 could introduce Octane’s own “AnimeRender” rendering engine.ĪnimeRender? It’s said to have been in development since 2018 but is not yet released. But if you have the horse-power to do that then why not just use real-time iRay instead, and for free? * There’s hazy talk of something called “Brigade” which will offer real-time Eevee-like rendering via Octane, but ray-traced rather than OpenGL.
* Octane can now also work as a host for other renders such as “Arnold, RenderMan, Radeon ProRender, and Blender Cycles”. * Updates to the AI Light algorithm, said to accelerate final renders by “2x or more”. * Improved performance for scenes too large for the GPU’s memory. Octane is interesting because DAZ Studio already has it, currently via a Free tier in the subscription rates, and because Poser 12 is to get a current-version Octane plugin in 2021. OctaneRender 2021 has moved up to a closed beta, with the forthcoming OctaneRender 2020.2 as its release-candidate engine.
