Octane X vs Valence 3D

Octane X, the world’s first and fastest unbiased, spectrally-correct GPU production renderer, is now available for the first time on iPad Pro (M series models only) - empowering artist workflows across visual effects, motion graphics, gaming, design, concept art and architectural visualization Octane X for iPad Pro supports all features of Octane X macOS standalone desktop application through a new interface designed from the ground up for easy scene navigation and editing using touch and Apple Pencil on iPad Pro. Power users can enable an advanced UX with support for keyboards, trackpads, external monitors, bluetooth mice and stage manager to get full parity with the Octane X standalone desktop application on macOS. Octane X accelerates modern creative workflows with ACES, OCIO and deep pixel EXR rendering, a powerful node-based material, shader and scene graph editor, and the industry’s most advanced production ready AI Denoiser. The Octane X standalone features and user guide is available here: https://docs.otoy.com/StandaloneH_STA/StandaloneManual.htm Octane X for iPad Pro only supports iPad Pro devices with the M series chipset, running iPadOS 26 and later.

Valence 3D is a powerful, beautiful, minimal, and easy-to-use 3D Polygon & SubD modeling app for iPad & iPhone.
