Octane can use additional memory (its just not set up by default as it slows things down)
You also don’t need to use the standalone, There are MAYA / Soft plugins which make it virtually the same as a redshift experience. In 3.1 they will be adopting the glTF format (they dropped FBX saying it was too clunky ) Although both FBX and USD can be added in theory using their now opened API. I did some tests on the weekend and am cautiously optimistic about glTF as a potential format, although I think they should have gone the USD route.

Also last time I checked Octane does not allow using system memory for scene data like Redshift does.
