The companys lineup of impartial, GPU-accelerated rendering platforms are commonly used in movie, TV, video games, motion graphics and AR/VR applications. Although enhanced for a variety of Apple Macs, Octane X was crafted with the Mac Pro in mind. In 2019, Otoy CEO Jules Urbach stated that “Octane X will be leveraging this extraordinary efficiency to take interactive and production GPU rendering … to a whole brand-new level.”
Otoy on Monday revealed that the public preview of Octane X has formally launched for macOS Catalina 10.15.6. Its completely enhanced for both AMD Vega and Navi GPUs throughout Apples Mac Pro, iMac, iMac Pro and MacBook Pro lineups.
According to the company, Octane X includes an entirely reworded mesh geometry engine and near perfect linear scaling of rendering speed with several GPU setups– consisting of eGPUs plugged in via Thunderbolt 3.
Octane X will come bundled with a lots baked-in plugins for different macOS 3D Content production platforms, consisting of Autodesk Maya, Maxon Cinema 4D and SideFX Houdini.
The general public sneak peek will be available on macOS Catalina beginning Monday for present OctaneRender Studio and Enterprise customers.

Enhanced for a range of Apple Macs, Octane X was crafted with the Mac Pro in mind. In 2019, Otoy CEO Jules Urbach said that “Octane X will be leveraging this unmatched performance to take interactive and production GPU rendering … to an entire brand-new level.”
The first public sneak peek of the Octane X graphics rendering engine is now readily available to Mac users on macOS Catalina, with a broader rollout coming later on in 2020.
According to the business, Octane X includes a totally rewritten mesh geometry engine and near perfect direct scaling of rendering speed with multiple GPU configurations– consisting of eGPUs plugged in via Thunderbolt 3. It ships with RNDR, a distributed rendering platform that lets graphic artists take advantage of networks of decentralized GPUs to power jobs. On a Mac Pro, it likewise supports approximately 400 GPUs over network rendering and 56 Xeon CPU threads with as much as 1.5 TB of out-of-core memory.
Octane X is a brand-new version of Otoys OctaneRender that has been completely reworded in Apples Metal graphics API as part of a “deep and long cooperation with Apples first-rate engineering group.” It was originally debuted at Apples WWDC 2019 keynote alongside the Mac Pro.
Based on OctaneBench ratings on a Mac Pro with a Radeon Pro Vega II Duo MPX Module, Octane X also provides the fastest score ever for a single slot graphics card. The renderer clocked in with a rating of 415 on the maker, surpassing the previous top score of 401.
