Octane Render

Octane Render is an unbiased rendering application with real-time capability. It was created by Terrence Vergauwen, founder of New Zealand-based company Refractive Software, Ltd., which was acquired by OTOY on 13 March 2012.[2] Version 1.0 was released on 28 November 2012; later versions of Octane Render continue to be deployed using Web release.[3] Octane render was the first commercially available unbiased raytracer that fully utilized the GPU,[4][5][6] giving it a significant speed advantage[7][8]; this allows users to more easily modify scenes in real time.
