OTOY

OTOY, Inc. is a technology company that specializes in cloud graphics, GPU rendering, and digital content creation software. Founded in 2009 by Jules Urbach, the company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. OTOY focuses on advancing render technology for film, visual effects, architecture, and design through cloud-based solutions and developer tools.

The company’s core products include OctaneRender, a GPU-accelerated unbiased render engine that operates across multiple platforms and integrates with a range of 3D applications. OctaneRender is widely used for its real-time previews and physically based rendering capabilities. OTOY also develops Orion, a cloud rendering and streaming service designed to deliver real-time or near-real-time rendering results by streaming content from the cloud to users’ devices. In addition, OTOY leads Render Network, a distributed rendering marketplace that leverages a blockchain-based framework to pool GPU resources from providers around the world.

RNDR, or Render Token, is a blockchain-based protocol associated with Render Network. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, RNDR tokens are used to compensate providers for rendering tasks and to pay for on-demand GPU compute services within the network. This approach aims to scale rendering by connecting artists who need compute with a decentralized pool of GPU resources.

OTOY’s work centers on making high-quality rendering more accessible through cloud and distributed computing, while continuing development of its GPU rendering ecosystem for professional workflows.
