I have heard of things like this before, but for the most part they were for programs I didnt have or use or plan to acquire, so I pretty much turned away from all the talk. I love Carrara, and anything that is for Carrara I am for. You really need to zoom in on this one to see the great details. Here is a test render of V6 using some SSS shaders I developed on the V5 Bree texture set (I think these got included as a part of the OR4C installation). The stability of OR4C is exremely good, soooo much better than the DS plugin it's amazing.

The interactive nature of Octane and the plugin while editing shaders and lighting has dramatically improved/transformed my workflow. This can be really handy if you want to use the standalone to render for some reason. This brings up another feature, you can export your entire Carrara scene for rendering directly in Octane standalone (with all lighting, shaders, etc. If it's any consolation, I haven't had a bit of buyer's remorse. It's a fairly significant investment, mainly due to the cost of purchasing Octane standalone. Thought I'd hit you with something plain, before throwing my usual stuff at you. It was an extreme honor to work with some of the great names that many of you know such as Tugpsx, 3Dage, PhilW, and Orion_UK (and of course Sighman).Īttached is an image I did literally just messing around while watching the TV. This latest version is very stable and quite feature rich. Sighman (the developer) was extremely fast to respond to any issues we found, and a pleasure to work with. It was great to be a part of the beta team with the group of talented and professional artists that Otoy put together. It's extremely stable and with excellent integration into Carrara. This public Beta release definitely does not feel like beta software. You can see the introductory video here: () If you purchase the plugin during the Public Beta phase, you pay half price of the full version, and get a free upgrade to the full version when it is released.

It's finally here!! Octane Render for Carrara (OR4C) by Simon Guard (AKA: Sighman) is now in PUBLIC beta.
