Octane Render is described as '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. Thllows the user to create stunning works in a fraction of the time of' and is an app. There are more than 25 alternatives to Octane Render for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Autodesk 3ds Max and Sketchup apps. The best Octane Render alternative is LuxCoreRender, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Octane Render are Adobe Dimension, MoonRay, Cycles Renderer and POV-Ray.

Powerful, feature-rich and fast standalone raytracing renderer.
Exporters from Blender and Google SketchUp are also available. Allows network rendering of images and animation
Supported Features*

OctaneBench® allows you to benchmark your GPU using OctaneRender. This provides a level playing field by making sure that everybody uses the same version and the same scenes and settings. Without these constraints, benchmark results can vary a lot.
Sunflow is an open source rendering system for photo-realistic image synthesis. It is written in Java and built around a flexible ray tracing core and an extensible object-oriented design. It was created as a framework for experimenting with global illumination algorithms and...
Pixie is an open source RenderMan renderer for generating photorealistic images. You can compile Pixie on Windows (using Visual Studio 2005), Linux and on OSX (using XCode or unix style configure script).

A free Terrain Synthesizer and RendererPicogen is an outdoor ray tracing system, a free Terrain Synthesizer and Renderer targeting large-scale terrain with realistic day/night-illumination and detailed plant populations.



MiniLight is a minimal global illumination renderer. It is primarily an exercise in simplicity. But that makes it a good base and benchmark (in some sense) for development and experimentation. And it just might be the neatest renderer around (on average, about 650 lines).




Freestyle is a software for Non-Photorealistic Line Drawing rendering from 3D scenes. It is designed as a programmable interface to allow maximum control over the style of the final drawing: the user "programs" how the silhouettes and other feature lines from the 3D...
