I used the octane dirt map shader for this one ... even tho that my gpu driver crashed 4 times while rendering

amazing work, very action packed.

Thank you glimpse for the detailed information, it's really really appreciated.

I will do some research and inquiries and see if I can add other gpu in my current setup without any problem.

Thank you mib, I appreciate your help.
Here is another test, took me a while to model and get the correct light mood.
Hope you like it.

Hi, this noise result often from small mesh emitters or indirect light sources.
There are some ways to minimize it:
Try different render kernel, PMC render slower but clear faster in problematic light situations.
Reduce Diffuse/Specular samples, 4-8 is enough in most cases.
Use GI clamp feature ...

Hi Guys, I came back with another test.
A random sci-fi nonfunctional crate XD I gotta work more on my modeling skills.
Anyway, any one have an idea how to reduce the noise that appears in the areas reflecting the warm light ? I blurred it out carefully a little bit with photoshop ? But i want to ...

Truly mesmerizing renders... Well done guys

Thanks @glimpse for the feedback, my current machine settings is Dell Precision T5610, Dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v2, 32GB RAM,3 GB NVIDIA Quadro K4000, do you think it's okey if I throw in another card for a non-custom build machine ? which card of these you mentioned would be the best deal ?
I mainly ...

Thanks man, you can say it's just a random abstract futuristic thing for the sake of practice
Here is another test, It's amazing how user friendly octane is, compared to vray.

I started playing with octane, loving it so far
I used the materials from the livedb
1h render time in pathtracing mode using a Quadro K4000, am I doing it wrong ?
