Turn Octane Render viewport captures into polished review renders with cloud AI.
OTOY's GPU-based spectral rendering engine for physically based stills, animation, and DCC visualization
OTOY's GPU-based spectral rendering engine for physically based stills, animation, and DCC visualization
Octane Render artists often move between Standalone and DCC plugin views while tuning spectral materials, HDRI lighting, mesh emitters, camera framing, and scene scale. RENDERCAD gives that workflow a lightweight review path: capture the Octane viewport or Live Viewer while the composition is still being shaped, then turn it into a polished visual for lookdev notes, product approvals, archviz options, pitch frames, or portfolio previews before committing to a longer final render.
Open the Octane Render Standalone scene or DCC plugin view, frame the camera or Live Viewer around the asset, interior, product setup, or environment, and capture a clean screenshot. RENDERCAD interprets the viewport image and returns a presentation-ready render that preserves the composition while refining lighting, material readability, and visual finish. Use /developers for current API details when automating Octane preview captures in a pipeline.

Get StartedCommon solutions for Octane Render users
Yes. Upload renders from other software or artists as style references. The AI replicates that visual style while maintaining your Octane Render geometry.
Absolutely. Mask each component of your Octane Render assembly and assign unique texture references to each, creating a cohesive multi-material render.
Yes. Mask a region, then assign a specific reference image just to that masked area. Other areas can have different references or default to the prompt.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Cold beverage with condensation" to your custom prompt. The "Realistic" engine will generate realistic droplets on the surface.
You don't need to place lights manually. Upload your image or snip your model, then use RENDERCAD's Background setting "Gradient" or "White" to simulate a clean studio environment.
Yes, use the "Details" field in the video tab to describe elements like "Steam rising" or "Lights flickering."
Select "4K" in the RENDERCAD Resolution settings. Our engine upscales and details your CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing into a high-res marketing image in 10-60 seconds.
Go to Render History, find the image, click it, and select "Re-render" to try new prompts.
Prompt "Stainless steel case," "Leather strap," and "Macro photography."
Describe the color code name (e.g., "Traffic Red") in the prompt.
It is a "Zero Footprint" solution. All processing happens on our cloud GPUs, so your laptop fan won't even spin up while generating 4K images.
Since RENDERCAD is also browser-accessible, it fits perfectly into a fully cloud-based workflow without requiring local software installation.
