Hello,

I'm having an issue with using an Open VDB and also a Octane fog volume. With both in the scene as you will see attached, the fog volume cancels out the smoke plume VDB. I know this is how the system is supposed to work but is there a work around so that I can see both my fog volume and the ...

Hello,

I have never had this issue before, but after rendering out my AO AOV Pass, when I open it in AE it's all black. I have seen people run into this before and I made sure to turn off the C4D save options in the render settings. I'm only using the Octane output module. I have also made sure to ...

I am working on a project where there are trails being produced from an xp emitter. I want to shade the trails with a gradient hair texture, but after a few videos I found out you can not do that. So I created a glossy material with noise + colorizer to try to get the same effect. The only problem ...

I will definitely try that. The image I attached does have a fractal noise applied to it from after effects. I did use the block fractal noise as you suggested. But I did not invert it. I have never used the highlight compression. Since it is a float value I am guessing a little goes a long way?

Awesome! I am glad you like it. I am interested to see what you have in mind for the specular map. Here is another image you may like it is the same object in a cloth material. I too am excited by this.

Here is another image.

Hey Bud I wanted you to check this out and see what you think. Your critique is welcome. So I found out that silver wing has done some work for Axisponza which is the company that did the image I attached before. So I found C4DAPT2 and Raphal Rau had a two hour session on how he creates the ...

It all seems so obvious now. Thanks a lot man, when I have something worthy I will post it here to see what you think. Where did you find the second image, I have seen somewhere as a promotion for a octane training course. I would like to find that course and watch it to increase my Octane skills ...

Thanks for the insight. You say that the objects design patterns are similar to silver wing designs? I will keep working on it to see what I can come up with.

Thanks again

I could really use some help or ideas on how to recreate the texture in the image attached. I am guessing that the geometric patterns are in a displacement channel, but when I try this the pattern indents too much into the geometry and does not look like it is a part of the surface texture like in ...
