Genially vs. OctaneRender

Genially is well suited for important presentations and when you want the reader to interact with the document you are creating. The smart blocks are also very useful and well thought out. Genially is not your best tool if you need to put something together fast or if you need to customize a lot because editing could be time-consuming.

I have been able to import an environment and create realistic lighting rather quickly by using the power of GPU rendering. Paired with its ability to create instances of geometry, it makes it easy to render a megacity environment in half the time. One issue with this is the clutter that can be made with connecting nodes.

• Use of animations and visual effects to bring presentations to life.
• Enables adding multiple layers of information to a slide for extra interactivity.
• Lets us measure the impact we have made on our audiences.

• Octane uses GPU rendering so it takes advantage of the video card.
• It gives you a good selection of options to tweak and refine your model rendering.
• It can use 3D instances so it doesn't overuse computer resources.
• There are plugins that can be incorporated into other 3D packages for rendering.
• Octane is particularly inexpensive compared to other 3D render packages.
• You are able to copy certain sections of nodes in order to create different iterations of the same environment or model. For example, changing the lighting or camera features.

• It would be nice to be able to save images and have them available on Genially.
• More free templates.
• Figure out a way to make editing less time consuming.

• Its user interface could use some improvement.
• It is node-based so there is a slight learning curve when using it as a beginner.
• It doesn't import FBX files.
• It requires a 3D model to have UVs in order to import it into Octane.
• At times it may not be as stable.

This web tool is designed to be broad and wide-reaching because it can be used in several ways such as attracting customers, circulating news, and teaching skills. You don't have to be a programmer to create stunning digital projects that are both unique and stunning.

Although both have their pros and cons, Octane is far less expensive and it allows for more control over the geometry within a scene with better lighting and camera controls.

• Different members of our team use Genially and some find it difficult to use.
• Genially allowed us to create interactive flyer that are great for our audience.
• We have created very nice presentations on Genially that we can later share with the audience.

Incentivized

• Octane has had a huge advantage of GPU rendering.
• It's relatively inexpensive compared to other rendering packages.
• It allows for more control over the scene compared to packages like Keyshot.
