OTOY

The fastest unbiased GPU renderer.

Visit OTOY

OTOY develops OctaneRender, a GPU-accelerated unbiased renderer designed to produce photorealistic images in significantly less time than traditional CPU-based rendering. The company also provides a suite of 3D graphics and holographic media tools, including Academy Award-winning facial scanning technology called Lightstage, and the ORBX format for holographic media. These tools address the need for high-speed, high-fidelity rendering and digital capture in professional visual effects and 3D workflows.

Key products include OctaneRender, which integrates with game engines like Unity, and OctaneRender Cloud for scalable GPU rendering. The OctaneStudio+ subscription bundles OctaneRender with additional software such as OTOY Studio, World Creator, MoI 3D, Cascadeur, MetaFaces, Greyscalegorilla Plus, and KitBash3D. The Render Network provides cloud rendering credits that support workflows in Octane, Redshift, Cinema 4D, Blender, and VFX generative neural tools from Runway and Topaz. Brigade and Light Fields are also part of the product lineup.

OctaneStudio+ is available via subscription, with annual plans that include a bundle of software and cloud rendering credits. The service is aimed at 3D artists, visual effects studios, and game developers who require fast, unbiased rendering and integrated 3D content creation tools.
