Testing Octane Render

These are my first test renders with Octane Render from Refractive Software. The images are rendered with a Geforce GTX 480. Glass version took about 8 minutes to render, the black image took 2 minutes. Fast, eh?

About Octane Render
Octane Render is the world’s first GPU based, un-biased, physically based renderer. What does that mean? It uses the video card in your computer to render photorealistic results fast…really fast. This allows the user to create stunning works in a fraction of the time of traditional CPU based renderers.

Yet, to date no other software makes use of it in the way that Octane does. With a single, modern, GPU you can typically expect to see a 1000%-5000% (10X to 50X) speed increase over a typical un-biased, CPU based renderer.
