- open the octane viewport
- set a Texture Environment to the environment background / drag&drop the texture to the material editor to edit it
- switch the type to ...

Hi!
Here is my submission.. It's called "Safe" and is an ironical view of our perceived safety. I got the idea while working on a surrealistic series and I though it would nicely feat the contest subject.

For the technical numbers, the scene contains approx 2 million triangles and took around ...

Very nice but also thought it was a lens, if there were no title I couldn't tell what it is.
Maybe you could add a specific detail so we directly think to the common deadly object ? maybe the grip, the pin or an "explosive" decal.. even if it's futuristic add anything that makes us think to an ...
