Otoy offers free cloud-based rendering for VR artists with OctaneRender Cloud

Otoy is giving virtual reality artists a free cloud-based rendering solution that generates an image up to 25 times faster than a typical local workstation.

The beta for the OctaneRender Cloud service starts today. It’s part of Los Angeles-based Otoy’s mission to make powerful rendering solutions accessible to artists, designers, and engineers who wouldn’t otherwise have access to expensive high-end technology. With it, we’ll likely see a lot more virtual reality content being produced by a wide range of people, which can only be a good thing.
