As little as 5 years ago, biased rendering engines like Mental Ray, Vray, and Renderman, became industry standards because they looked photoreal but took a fraction of the time to render than their "physically accurate" counterparts. In other words, "bias" is willfully introduced in the interest of efficiency. The biased render essentially "cheats" to speed up the process of rendering by making assumptions that allow for less computation.
Because biased rendering performs certain calculations upfront, significant processing power is saved during the actual render. With the ability to run Octane in the cloud, it is likely to become even more integrated into the creative process of these industries.īiased Rendering is a mainstay in the Visual Effects and Motion Graphics world. Now it is being used in feature films, commercials, and even architectural rendering.
Octane was developed by a New Zealand-based company called Refractive Software, Ltd, and was later taken over by the Company OTOY in 2012. Octane is the world's first and fastest GPU-accelerated, unbiased, physically correct renderer.
