Octane cuts through simple scenes like butter and turn those minutes into seconds. If you're currently using standard or physical rendering in Cinema4D, you know that sometimes a single frame can take minutes to render for a simple scene. One of the great things about GPU rendering technology is how fast you can render an image compared to CPU rendering. If you're looking for a compare and contrast of render engines, we'll have one of those for you too in the coming weeks.

These articles are meant to present facts so you can make an informed decision in your career. The Benefits of Using Octane in Cinema 4D Similar to Arnold, but using GPU technology. Simplified, Octane is a GPU render engine that uses a way of calculating final rendered images that aims to be photo-realistic. Otoy writes, “OctaneRender® is the world’s first and fastest GPU-accelerated, unbiased, physically correct renderer.”

There are definitely some terms used in this article series that may sound a bit geeky, so we created a 3D Motion Design Glossary if you find yourself stumped by anything written below. This will be a good starter if you've never heard of Octane or if you're curious about using Octane in Cinema 4D. In this article we will introduce you to Otoy's Octane Render Engine.
