Introduction

Features

Integrated Environment

• Texture (HDRIAn image which presents more than 8 bit per color channel unlike most common image formats.)
• Daylight
• Texture + Daylight

Integrated Camera

• Thin Lens and Isomorphic
• Stereo Rendering

Integrated MaterialsA set of attributes or parameters that describe surface characteristics.

• Octane Materials can be configured while preserving original Carrara Shaders
• Works with internal or external texture maps.
• All current Octane 2.0 Materials and TexturesTextures are used to add details to a surface. Textures can be procedural or imported raster files. are supported.

Conversion of existing Carrara Shaders

Reasonable conversion of Multi Channel shaders which take into account

• Color
• Alpha
• Highlight
• Shininess
• Bump
• Reflection
• Transparency
• Refraction
• Glow

The following Shaders are directly converted to Octane Shaders

• Color
• Color Gradient
• Index of Refraction (in Refraction Channel)
• Texture Map
• Value (0-100 and (0-10000)
• Mixer
• Multiply
• Checkers

The following shaders are mapped but don't produce the same result

• Add (mapped to Multiply)
• Marble
• Fractal Noise (mapped to Rigid Fractal)
• Turbulence

External Render Window

• Displays the Octane Render View Port (ORVP)
• Shows stats for the current render
• Updates when changes are made in Carrara.
• Provides:
• .ocs and .orbx exporting
• Image saving
• Diagnostics
• Pause and Resume render
• Lock render from updates from Carrara
• White Point picker
• MaterialThe representation of the surface or volume properties of an object. picker
• Focus picker
• Restart render
• Free Camera mode.
• Can zoom and pan image.
• In free camera mode you can control the camera view in the same way as the standalone (pan, zoom, rotate).

External Settings Window

• Set the render target settings including
• Imager
• Kernal (DL, Path Tracing, PMC, Info Channel)
• Post ProcessingEffects such as Bloom and Glare that are applied after a scene has been rendered.
• Render Target setting are saved and loaded seperately from the .car file (at this time)
• Animation
• animations rendered to image sequences
• camera motion blur
• Devices
• control which GPUs to use and their priority
• Octane Live DB
• download materials from the Live DB database and save them as Carrara browser files (.cbr)
