OctaneRender

What it does: OctaneRender is a GPU render engine described by OTOY as unbiased and spectrally correct.
Rendering: It supports physically based spectral light transport, multiple GPUs, network rendering, volume rendering, and out-of-core textures.
Interactive viewport: OTOY says the on-screen viewport is the final render and updates instantly when scene settings change.
Materials and shading: It supports Open Shading Language, procedural materials, complex PBR textures, toon shading, and the OctaneLive material database.
DCC integrations: OTOY says OctaneRender supports more than 21 plugins and lists integrations including Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya, Houdini, Nuke, and SketchUp in its demo and product materials.
Interchange: OctaneRender supports the .ORBX interchange format for moving scenes between supported modeling tools.
GPU acceleration: OTOY says NVIDIA RTX acceleration brings 2–5× render speed increases on ray-tracing GPUs with multi-GPU support.
Free tiers: OTOY offers OctaneRender Prime as a free tier for personal and commercial use, with one GPU maximum and no network rendering.
Trial limits: The standalone demo limits output to 1000×600 pixels, prevents saving projects or renders, watermarks output, and excludes LiveDB and network rendering.
Supported systems: The purchase page specifies CUDA 10 capable NVIDIA graphics on Windows and Linux, and Apple M1 or newer GPUs with macOS 14 or later for Octane X 2023 and later.
Licensing requirement: OTOY says the software requires an internet connection to its licensing server, while annual subscriptions can use a separately sold offline USB dongle.
Security and privacy: OTOY's privacy policy says it uses reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative steps to protect personal information and cannot guarantee security absolutely.
Support: OTOY provides product manuals and support through its help site, and recommends trying the demo to check hardware compatibility before subscribing.
Intended users: OTOY describes Studio+ as providing OctaneRender VFX software and its ecosystem to artists and studios.
