help OTOY Brigade FAQ
What is OTOY Brigade?
Brigade is a real-time path tracing engine from OTOY, the company best known for OctaneRender. It was built to render fully ray traced visuals at game-engine speeds on GPUs rather than relying on rasterization tricks.
What hardware do you need to run real-time path tracing like Brigade?
OTOY's renderers are built on NVIDIA's CUDA platform, so an NVIDIA GPU is required. The Brigade demos that circulated in the mid-2010s typically ran on multi-GPU workstations to reach real-time frame rates with path-traced lighting.
Can OTOY Brigade be used for games?
Brigade was pitched at game-style real-time rendering, but its technology ultimately landed in OctaneRender's tools for VFX, motion graphics, and architectural visualization. Today, comparable real-time ray tracing for games is more commonly found in engines like Unreal Engine 5 with hardware ray tracing.
