OTOY has recently announced the availability of a new version of its GPU render engine as a public preview.
The update feature rewritten and optimized Optix 7 RTX acceleration, ACES support, native Maxon C4D GPU noises and more.

What is more, it includes native GPU Maxon C4D noises for textures and volumes, ACES and color display pipeline support, Houdini 18 Solaris Hydra viewport integration. Users can test a new spectral Hosek-Wilkie sky system, advanced camera split-focus diopter and optical vignetting tools, granular artist control for rounded edges and a fully curated library of OSL shaders through LiveDB.
The team also noted that the update refines a number of new features, including "NV Link support, Spectral Random Walk SSS, Layered Materials, revamped AI volumetric denoising, Octane Spectron and Vectron procedural lighting and geometry primitives and fast GPU Cryptomatte support."
