Why we like it

Octane AOV Picker earns its place for tackling a specific friction point: long, flat AOV pass lists in both rendering and the Composite Node Tree. By grouping passes into categories behind a two-level menu, it keeps the selection step quick for Octane users in Blender.

What is Octane Aov Picker?

Octane AOV Picker is a Blender addon from DrawFun Ltd built for OctaneRender for Blender. It works only with Blender Octane and does not function with standard Blender Cycles or Eevee, so the Octane render engine is required.

Octane's Render AOV system provides a wide range of passes for compositing and advanced rendering workflows. As the number of available AOV passes grows, selecting the one you need can mean scrolling through a long, flat list. The same long lists appear in the Composite Node Tree when connecting passes. Octane AOV Picker reorganizes these lists into clear, logical categories and adds a two-level menu selector: you first choose a category, then select the desired AOV pass.

This reduces selection time and applies across both rendering and compositing workflows. The addon lists compatibility with Blender 4.5 through 5.0 and ships with documentation. A demo video is also available.

Who is Octane Aov Picker best for?

Octane Aov Picker is best for blender Octane users who work with the Render AOV system and want faster pass selection across rendering and compositing workflows.

How much does Octane Aov Picker cost?

Octane Aov Picker is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Octane AOV Picker work with Blender Cycles or Eevee?

Octane AOV Picker works only with Blender Octane, also known as OctaneRender for Blender. It does not function with standard Blender Cycles or Eevee, so you need the Octane render engine installed to use it. The addon reorganizes Octane's Render AOV passes into categories and adds a two-level menu selector, which means its features are tied specifically to the Octane AOV system. If your project runs on Cycles or Eevee, this addon will not apply to your setup.

What Blender versions does Octane AOV Picker support?

Octane AOV Picker lists compatibility with Blender versions 4.5 through 5.0. If you are running a release within that range alongside the Octane render engine, the addon should fit your setup. It works with Octane's Render AOV system and the Composite Node Tree, organizing long AOV lists into categories through a two-level menu. For versions outside that range, or to confirm the latest supported builds, check the developer's page before installing.

Is Octane AOV Picker free?

Octane AOV Picker is listed as free here in the catalog, and it is released under the GPL license. Pricing and licensing terms can change over time, so it's worth checking the developer's page for the current status and any updates. The addon focuses on reorganizing Octane's Render AOV passes into a two-level category menu, which applies across both rendering and compositing workflows in Blender Octane.

What license is Octane AOV Picker released under?

Octane AOV Picker is released under the GPL license. For the full terms and any conditions attached to redistribution or modification, review the license documentation on the developer's page. The addon itself ships with documentation and targets Blender Octane users who work with AOV passes for compositing and advanced rendering, organizing those passes into categories behind a two-level menu selector.
