OTOY Founder and CEO, Jules Urbach, delivers a presentation on OTOY's product roadmap including OctaneRender 3, OctaneVR, the ORBX media format, OctaneRender Cloud, and Brigade at the 2015 NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference.

1. So you want to build a Holodeck?
#OctaneRender #VR #AR
OTOY Inc.
March 2015

3. Holodeck – a 20th century take on VR
 Light field displays are coming, but…
 VR / AR will offer a cheaper and more immersive option to billions sooner

5. Holodeck – a 20th century take on VR
 OTOY’s mission: make digital holographic* content creation practical
*(Digital Hologram: 8D light field volume + depth +reflectance)

6. OCTANERENDER AND SPACE STATION 76
2

7. 2.0
Displacement mapping

8. MOTION BLUR
2.0
Object Motion Blur

9. HAIR / FUR
2.0
Hair and Fur primitives

10. 2.x
 Deformable object motion blur
 Render passes
 Ultra fast out of core CPU textures

11. 2.2
 Oculus VR support – done right 
 That’s everything on our GTC’14 roadmap for 2.x
 Octane 2 – ready to replace CPU rendering in VFX?
 Yeah. Only one test I wanted to see us pass…

16. OCTANERENDER AND SPACE STATION 76

17. VR
 It’s an experiment – a bet on VR to push awareness
 Available to all between April to July on OTOY.com
 All the features of Octane 2.2 – NOT A DEMO version
 Free – even for commercial use 
 If it works – and we all want it to – we’ll keep it free

18. 2015 / 2016
Roadmap

19. What’s next?

29. 3
 OpenVDB native support for particles, smoke, fire:

30. 3
 OpenSL shaders (huge!)

31. 3
 OpenCL – Octane on CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and ASICs
 Out of core rendering of geometry w/ CPU fallback
 FBX (bones/skinning) and PTEX supported natively

32. 3.x
 Deep pixel rendering
 Live bridge between O3 plug-ins – e.g. Max -> Nuke
 Adobe Photoshop plug-in ships in O3 with live deep
pixel linking
 Texture baking (UV / volumetric) for Unreal and Unity
plug-ins. Supports SH, can be done live or offline
 Unlimited mesh size and infinite primitive count

33. 3.x
 Raw lighting and albedo render passes
 Fine-grained reflection, shadow and illumination
casting controls per object or layer
 Fully configurable UI, transform gizmos and dockable
windows in O3 Standalone
 New 3rd party plugin APIs: C modules and portable
LLVM-based modules in ORBX packages / script nodes

34. 3.x
 NEW: ORBX media files
 Based on ORBX scene format, but for output…
 Cached render data in the form of light fields, film
buffers
 Movie and audio textures including MP4 and HEVC
 Per node timelines
 Light field volume primitives

35. 3.x
 ORBX media files support web and mobile viewing of
interactive content for HTML5, VR and AR
 Interactive scene baking to Web / VR / AR without any
game engine dependency

36. 3.x
 Open and free alpha in June
 3.0 Release later this year (Q3)
 3.x updates continuing into 2016

37. OctaneRender ecosystem– 21+ plugins and counting
 PhotoShop
 NUKE
 Houdini
 AfterEffects
 MotionBuilder
 Unreal Engine
 Zbrush

38. Houdini

39. AfterEffects

40. Motionbuilder

41. Additional plugins coming from 3rd party developers
 Unity
 Bryce
 Hexagon 3D
 Blackmagic Fusion 360

42. OctaneRender Cloud (ORC)

43. OctaneRender Cloud (ORC)
 Unlimited fire and forget – all web based on orc.otoy.com
 Upload scenes on web, or from plug-ins, then render on the cloud
 Ideal for parallel workflows (i.e. animation, light field)
 Octane CE runs live on desktop.otoy.com for DCC cloud services on X.IO

44. ORBX -> Brigade

45. Dynamic noise free rendering of ORBX scenes from the cloud:
