I've never done the skin

I second this statement. Please, a vid tutorial would be great!

Very cool. I like the style and lighting. A bit more DoF would go a long way with this. It would help sell the scale a bit more and hide some of those artifacts in your back plate.

Nicely done! Very clean.

Wow! Your work is amazing. I am continually amazed at the quality of renders you put out. I don't know if you have posted it already but I'd love to get a detailed look at your material shader settings for these scenes.

Yeah, that's what I think. Unless I hear otherwise from official sources.

There is a "matte" attribute in the octane diffuse shader, but I can't get it to work neither...

I just took a look. I'm at a loss too as to what this feature actually is. If I knew what it was supposed to be doing then maybe I could troubleshoot it a bit more. If anyone figures it out. Be sure ...

Could this be the Shadow Matte Catcher feature? I'm not sure if it's been implemented yet.

??? I really don't understand what you are asking.

Yes I use Maya 2011 64bit.
Maya 2011 does not support adding the attributes to already existing classes of objects in its API. This feature appeared starting from Maya 2012 . So, it is the reason the "mesh" and "subdiv" classes of objects do not create this attribute automatically when you create ...

If I right understood, you still use Maya 2011? x32 or x64?..

Yes I use Maya 2011 64bit.

What I'm wondering is. Is octane recognizing my instances and loading them into the GPU accordingly? Or Is it just loading extra copies of my object therefore putting more load on the GPU than is necessary ...
