🎉 OctaRender V2 is officially live!
Over the last few months, the team has been rebuilding the OctaRender platform from the ground up. Our dedication to our platform and products is unmatched, and the new platform brings with it more features than any other render farm currently available on the market. The new farm comes with a brand new addon and an entirely new platform.
Access the new platform here: https://cube.octa.computer/render
Here's what's new:
- Revamped interface and UI: cleaner, faster across the board
- Add-on support: your custom add-ons are auto-detected and packaged with your job
- Fully integrated with our core platform
- Full OpenEXR codec support
- Brand new addon: no transfer manager, no admin install, max upload/download speeds, no file size limits
- Flexible downloads: from the addon or platform, even single frames
- Persistence Engine: ~30% faster, keeps your Blender instance alive across frames
- Full OCIO support: custom color spaces, LUTs, ACES auto-detected and mirrored to every node
- Full asset detection and packing, no manual packing needed
- Enhanced real-time monitoring: live GPU/VRAM/CPU/RAM telemetry, render-time heatmaps
...and plenty more.
Immediate action required: switch to the new OctaRender addon
The new OctaRender platform is now live in Cube, and it uses a brand new Blender addon. Your old one won't work with it.
What to do:
1. Remove your old OctaRender addon from Blender (Edit > Preferences > Add-ons)
2. Download the new addon directly from the Projects page in Cube: https://cube.octa.computer/render
3. Install and enable it the same way as before. No admin install needed this time.
That's it. Once it's installed and you're logged in, you're ready to render on the new farm.

For a short time, you will still be able to access the old platform to download any old projects or assets.
