Cloud graphics company, OTOY Inc., today announced expanded support for its acclaimed OctaneRender software, giving artists and animators more choice in where and how they work and accelerating content creation by bringing lightning fast true-to-life rendering to four more popular 3D applications. Along with previously announced plugins for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects, OctaneRender plugins are also in development for The Foundry's NUKE compositing software, Side Effects Software's Houdini 3D animation software, Autodesk's MotionBuilder 3D character animation software, and Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4.
Following the unveiling this week of holographic video, a groundbreaking new media format for immersive, photorealistic content, OTOY also revealed further details of the content pipeline that will allow artists, animators, designers and engineers to capture, create, publish, and display their own holographic videos by harnessing light field rendering technology in OctaneRender Cloud Edition in the months to come. OTOY also revealed new means of applying the same holographic light field data within 3D engines such as Unreal, physical simulation engines such as Pixelux's Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) Engine, and audio engines to simplify design of games and other interactive applications while improving realism. OTOY is demonstrating both OctaneRender and ORBX holographic video this week at the annual international conference on computer graphics, SIGGRAPH 2014, in booth 1447 of the Vancouver Convention Center.
OTOY has achieved the impossible task of simplifying the complex science of true-to-life rendering down to a series of mouse clicks, said Vik Sohal, co-founder of Pixelux. With the integration of Pixelux's Digital Molecular Matter Engine into OctaneRender Cloud Edition, we're providing the same intuitive simplicity to finite-element-based destruction, letting content creators apply the intricate math behind the material properties and object interactions that make up the real world without needing to be simulation experts themselves.
Working with a growing list of exceptional partners, OTOY continues to make OctaneRender more accessible to content creators everywhere while adding functionality, said Jules Urbach, Founder and CEO, OTOY. Holographic video is an exceedingly elegant format that simplifies the production and sharing of incredible 3D experiences while holographic light field data opens the door to extraordinarily sophisticated, yet easy to implement simulations of physics and audio, and streamlined game and 3D application development. OTOY's holographic video pipeline is flexible not only for how it allows content creators to work, but also for the myriad of options content creators will have in harnessing holographic data to make their work easier.
Extending the value of holographic data through OctaneRender Cloud Edition
OctaneRender is renowned for its simplicity and ease-of-use, taking advanced material rendering concepts that traditionally have required knowledge of shader programing, and transforming photorealistic scene-building to a simple point-and-click exercise using OctaneRender 's efficient node graph. Now OTOY is bringing the same simplicity to other advanced simulation elements including physics, audio, and other 3D engines in its forthcoming OctaneRender Cloud Edition, harnessing the holographic data for faster, more accurate simulations.
Improving destruction simulations - Pixelux's acclaimed DMM Engine is the physical simulation engine that will be integrated into OctaneRender Cloud Edition, giving content creators access to the same advanced technology used to create high-end destruction simulations for major motion pictures. With the integration, content creators will have an easy means of applying real-world physical simulation to their scenes without worrying about performance limits. Using DMM's incredible ability to allow the simulation of complex structures bending and breaking made of anything from diamond to jelly, content creators will be able to create the visual reality to match their imagination all through advanced simulation.
Improving audio simulations - Audio has always been a challenge for interactive 3D scenes, particularly for VR experiences that are wholly immersive. Using holographic data within OctaneRender Cloud Edition, complex acoustic simulations can be made to match a rendered scene perfectly, including the way audio bounces off of objects in a scene much the way light does. Combined with DMM, audio associated with the collision, bending, tearing, and fracture of objects within a scene can also be easily simulated.
Supporting other 3D engines - For game development or the production of interactive environments for design, architecture, and attractions, other 3D rendering engines may be desired rather than OctaneRender 's. OTOY's cloud-based, real-time photorealistic 3D engine, Brigade, and Epic's Unreal Engine will be supported, allowing for holographic data to be used as environment maps simplifying things such as collision detection.
Building out the holographic video pipeline
OTOY's end-to-end pipeline brings together several technologies for the production and publishing of holographic videos and supports the most popular third-party software so that content creators can work where and how they prefer:
Capture: OTOY's LightStage marks the first step in creating true-to-life holographic videos, enabling the capturing of people, objects, or environments to generate virtually perfect digital doubles .
Create: Whether using LightStage to capture real-world objects or forgoing that step for the purposes of creating entirely computer-generated scenes, OctaneRender , OTOY's suite of advanced 3D rendering software for work
