Holodeck – a 20th century take on VR

Light field displays are coming, but…

VR / AR will offer a cheaper and more immersive option to billions sooner

Holodeck – a 20th century take on VR

OTOY’s mission: make digital holographic* content creation practical

*(Digital Hologram: 8D light field volume + depth +reflectance)

2.0

Displacement mapping

MOTION BLUR

2.0

Object Motion Blur

HAIR / FUR

2.0

Hair and Fur primitives

2.x

Deformable object motion blur

Render passes

Ultra fast out of core CPU textures

2.2

Oculus VR support – done right

That’s everything on our GTC’14 roadmap for 2.x

Octane 2 – ready to replace CPU rendering in VFX?

Yeah. Only one test I wanted to see us pass…

OCTANERENDER AND SPACE STATION 76

VR

It’s an experiment – a bet on VR to push awareness

Available to all between April to July on OTOY.com

All the features of Octane 2.2 – NOT A DEMO version

Free – even for commercial use

If it works – and we all want it to – we’ll keep it free

2015 / 2016 Roadmap

What’s next?

OpenSL shaders (huge!)

3 OpenCL – Octane on CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and ASICs

Out of core rendering of geometry w/ CPU fallback

FBX (bones/skinning) and PTEX supported natively

3.x Deep pixel rendering

Live bridge between O3 plug-ins – e.g. Max -> Nuke

Adobe Photoshop plug-in ships in O3 with live deep pixel linking

Texture baking (UV / volumetric) for Unreal and Unity plug-ins. Supports SH, can be done live or offline

Unlimited mesh size and infinite primitive count

3.x Raw lighting and albedo render passes

Fine-grained reflection, shadow and illumination casting controls per object or layer

Fully configurable UI, transform gizmos and dockablewindows in O3 Standalone

New 3rd party plugin APIs: C modules and portable LLVM-based modules in ORBX packages / script nodes

3.x NEW: ORBX media files

Based on ORBX scene format, but for output…

Cached render data in the form of light fields, film buffers

Movie and audio textures including MP4 and HEVC

Per node timelines

Light field volume primitives

3.x

ORBX media files support web and mobile viewing of interactive content for HTML5, VR and AR

Interactive scene baking to Web / VR / AR without any game engine dependency

3.x

Open and free alpha in June

3.0 Release later this year (Q3)

3.x updates continuing into 2016

OctaneRender ecosystem– 21+ plugins and counting

PhotoShop

NUKE

Houdini

AfterEffects

MotionBuilder

Unreal Engine

Zbrush

Houdini

AfterEffects

Motionbuilder

Additional plugins coming from 3rd party developers

Unity

Bryce

Hexagon 3D

Blackmagic Fusion 360

OctaneRender Cloud (ORC)

OctaneRender Cloud (ORC)

Unlimited fire and forget – all web based on orc.otoy.com

Upload scenes on web, or from plug-ins, then render on the cloud

Ideal for parallel workflows (i.e. animation, light field)

Octane CE runs live on desktop.otoy.com for DCC cloud services on X.IO

ORBX -> Brigade

Dynamic noise free rendering of ORBX scenes from the cloud:
