.@AndreyLebrov breaks down the latest evolution of his @OTOY Octane Assembly Pipeline - a workflow built to help artists separate DCC asset creation from final scene assembly and rendering.

By leaning on Octane Standalone as a scene assembler and pairing it with the Render Network, this pipeline is designed to handle serious production scale, heavier GPU workloads, and a more efficient path to final pixels for VFX artists and studios.
We are excited to share the official roster of presenters for RenderCon 2026. Prepare to hear from top industry experts who are currently redefining the landscape of AI, creative compute, and rendering. We invite you to join us in Hollywood at Nya Studios on April 16-17, 2026. You can secure your admission passes today by visiting http://rendercon2026.com.
State-of-the-network conversations with @JulesUrbach (CEO, OTOY/Render), @AriEmanuel, @richardkerris, @PeterDiamandis, Francesco Siddi @fsiddi, and the Render Network Foundation, plus @refikanadol (founder of DATALAND), Director of Alien: Romulus @fedalvar, @EMostaque, @drjonessf, @TristanRelly, and more.
We're exploring: world models, the future of 3D, and what it takes to move from demos into production.
With 25+ speakers from studios like @AlreadyBnChewed to @OTOY, @LTXStudio, @Kling_ai, and more - plus artists from @artechouse’s SUBMERGE exhibition, RenderCon 2026 is where production teams and creatives connect to shape what's next.
Real practitioners breaking down practical workflows. Gaussian splats, Blender at scale, virtual production without mega-budgets, spatial/immersive 3D, VFX pipelines, and live demos. This is where theory meets execution.

The voting period for RNP-023 has officially opened. As a quick refresher, this initiative aims to incorporate the decentralized infrastructure of Salad, which consists of 60K GPUs, into the Render Network to serve as an exclusive subnet.
We warmly invite everyone who is qualified to take part to carefully look over the details and submit their decision prior to the March 30 deadline.

The Re:Novation ArchViz 3D Challenge is officially accepting entries. With exciting prizes generously provided by @rendernetwork, this event invites you to push your creative boundaries.
Participants will begin with a foundational base house model. From there, it is entirely up to you to redesign, reimagine, and render the space. Your final creation could become a curated museum, a welcoming hotel, a trendy café, or even a forgotten ruin. The creative direction is completely in your hands.
All competition entries must be received no later than Jun 9, 2026. To acquire the model download and review the complete details, simply visit https://3dmodels.org/re-novation/
Let us officially welcome you to the Re:Novation ArchViz 3D Challenge, which is now actively accepting entries. For this competition, participants will begin with a provided base house model and completely transform it. The final vision is entirely in your hands, whether you choose to turn it into a modern hotel, a cozy café, an inspiring museum, or a forgotten ruin. Your goal is simply to redesign, reimagine, and render the structure.
Generous prize sponsorships for this event are being provided by @rendernetwork. All completed entries must be received before the competition officially closes on Jun 9, 2026.

Today marks the 28th birthday of @Abdallammaar, and we are taking this opportunity to share some warm community appreciation for his talent. To celebrate his special day, we are proudly showcasing his featured artwork, which was constructed using Cinema 4D before being fully rendered via @OTOY Octane across the @rendernetwork. We sincerely hope you experience a fantastic year to come, Abdalla!
If you are looking to optimize your production process, @AndreyLebrov recently shared an in-depth look at the newest updates to his @OTOY Octane Assembly Pipeline. He designed this specific workflow to assist creators in splitting DCC asset creation away from the ultimate stages of final scene assembly and rendering.

By utilizing Octane Standalone to act as a scene compiler and integrating that with the @rendernetwork, this technique establishes a highly practical pipeline for studios and VFX artists. It not only simplifies the rendering phase but also allows teams to scale their operations with much greater efficiency.
RNP-023, bringing Salad’s decentralized GPU network to Render Network as an exclusive subnet, will move to its first round of voting soon (targeting the next 24 hours, but potentially as late as Friday).
