The best part is ...

“Accelerated ray tracing is a game changer that will massively disrupt GPU rendering,” said OTOY CEO Jules Urbach. “It is a major reason why OTOY is merging Brigade and OctaneRender 4 next year, which will bring real time cinematic path tracing to both Unity and Unreal Engine.

''next year'' in Otoy's timeline probably means a decade in ours. We'll see.

*cough cough* I like how cg-press put it in their headline: "Octane to be powered by Imagination". That sums up my experience with otoy since they announced octane back in the days pretty well :D

Yo dawg, I heard you like rendering on accelerators so we accelerate your GPU accelerated rendering... :D

It certainly requires a lot of imagination to consider Octane powerful :)
