# How to Build Assembly Pipelines with Octane & the Render Network

Octane Standalone is more than just a render engine-it’s a powerful assembly tool capable of streamlining production workflows for visual effects studios and artists working across multiple DCCs. In this series, award-winning director and VFX supervisor Andrey Lebrov walks through his latest pipeline architecture built around **Octane Standalone + The Render Network**, using assembly workflow theory and his studio's LMI Tools for Houdini, Blender, and C4D.<br>

Introductory tutorials previewing this Assembly workflow using Octane Standalone as a scene compiler were released in early 2025.
