In nuce: Software developer Otoy has revised the licensing model for its OctaneRenderer – by abolishing perpetual licences and previous subscription variants in favour of a single, so-called Studio Plus subscription. This is according to a recent press release.
Cost point: The Studio Plus subscriptions for OctaneRenderer will be priced at either 23.95 euros per month or 239.88 euros per year. Previously, the perpetual licence was priced at 699 euros, while the subscription variants ranged in price from 199 to just under 480 euros per year.
In toto: Studio-Plus offers access to a wide range of assets and software solutions from third-party providers. These software solutions include: the modelling software Mol 3D, the AI-supported animation software Cascadeur, the terrain generation software World Creator, the beta build of the simulation software EmberGenFX ( for which the complete commercial licence is to follow the full version in the course of 2023), the hard-surface modelling toolkit Architron (formerly LWCAD) for Cinema 4D and LightWave, or Otoy’s own Sculptron software for animation caches. Assets included in the Studio Plus subscription include 3D face and body scans from LightStage and kitbashing assets from KitBash3D. Vectron VFX packs will be added throughout 2023.
