Octane Renderer Plugin
There is a fatal mismatch between indigo and iClone6 in terms of Graphics card support. iClone6 leans towards NVIDIA, whereas indigo leans towards AMD. This guarantees "functional incompatibility" over the long term even with new releases of indigo, leaving iclone users frustrated and disappointed thanks to unmet expectations.

Time to make a switch? Octane renderer seems to be a perfect match for iClone and the vendor currently supports products like DAZ and Poser which are like functional cousins to iClone.

According to Otoy, if someone develops a plugin according to their standards (which they provide), they will adopt it. The only negative being that they keep the copyright. Despite that, I think having support for octane will bring tremendous long term value for RL in terms of new leads as well as the type and scale of projects implemented with iclone.

Octane is the natural "next step" for iclone rendering. Please RL, give us Octane in 6.x as a consolation for indigo dissapointments!

Hard to say. I wish they cold give us beta access to test it.

The PBR should be the solution, as shown in the Reallusion YouTube Channel ?

Agreed! It doesn't have to be Octane as long as it delivers the goods. Thanks for voting guys & for understanding that this is more than just a request for Octane.

I agree we need a better faster render engine then Indigo, because sadly the native renderer is not professional enough.  If I want people to take note of my work then only my Indigo image renders impress, iClone render pales in comparison.

I'm not sure if Octane is the answer but there must be a better alternative.  If Reallusion can give us something that is as fast, with pro-standard quality and looks gorgeous then you have me sold. 

I looks forward to seeing where they go with this.
