I miss some features, but still I am really satisfied with what Blender provides. The main use of this technology is Blender’s new real-time render engine: EEVEE. the next big release brings updates all over the board. From a new PBR Viewport to Workspaces, simpler UI and dependency graphs.
#Octane render blender 2.8 update
What can I say? It is absolutely valuable. The next release of Blender 2.8, is the most exciting update since BMesh (n-gons) was added in 2.63. The motion blur feature is during development. Known issues: - OSX/Linux versions are not supported yet. Looking forward to your feedback about it. This version includes OctaneDB feature and dozens of bug fixes.
I changed my plan by studying Blender's Cycle and shading system. DrawFun wrote: Hello there, We've just released 20.1, with blender 2.8 and octane 2019.1 RC3. But, well, as you can see, Chaos Group's promises were never kept. My plans were to swap 3DS Max 2020 with Blender and keep V-Ray as renderer. I have been with V-Ray since 1.5, but I've learned the hard way. Don't put all your eggs into this one basket. V-Ray Next is my current renderer and unless Chaos show that they're better than Autodesk in their treatment of their loyal customers I'm just going to watch and see and decide when it's V-Ray 6 time.īut already I'm looking at other renderers. I stopped my perpetual at 3DS Max 2020 and so far, in just two short years, I've saved something like £2500 in 'upgrades' (and NO pain). If you're going Blender (well done!) - why not go all the way and use their renderer ? Okay, it might not be as good as V-Ray or as quick etc etc, but Blender is being developed at a cracking pace and of course it's free. In Blender you need to activate Octane addon, then you can switch to Octane renderer in render tab.
#Octane render blender 2.8 download
Unpack it, go into ServerPrime folder, then run OctaneServer.exe and let it download CUDA libraries.Then go to Client and start Blender.exe. Sorry if this appears 'off topic' - and I'll be honest and say that I haven't read all the posts, just the beginning one and this page 13. Download it from here - it is custom build of Blender 2.8 RC3.
