OctaneRender 2026.2: Meshlets, 16K Displacement, and Smarter GI
OctaneRender 2026.2 refines OTOYβs GPU renderer with big gains for complex, high-detail scenes. The update introduces meshlets, enabling Nanite-style streaming of massive geometry tailored for path-traced workflows, and significantly speeds up high-quality texture displacement with support for 16K maps in network rendering. Neural Radiance Cache now integrates with the photon tracing kernel and exposes its memory usage, while added stability flags, a metalness AOV, ...
