How to Bake Octane Displacement Maps into Geometry?

Hello everyone!

I'm working on a project where I have terrain in Cinema 4D using Octane displacement maps. However, I'm trying to import the terrain into Embergen, and it seems that Embergen doesn't recognize the displacement, so the terrain remains flat and doesn't work for my purposes.

Is there ...

Light AOV passes Question - Alphas + IDs

Hey guys, seems pretty straight forward but I can't seem to figure it out.

Is there an AOV pass similar to layer black shadows but for light emissions? (for when render layer option is selected).

What I'm after is instead of a shadow layer with alpha, its the light emission from the object (in ...

Re: xParticles + Octane crashing when applying Motion Blur

guys sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I'm having this problem too. My scene crashed mid-render one day and now as I try get it to re-continue from where it left off, it just gets stuck at calculating MB. I tried bringing down the motion blur cache frames to 1, changing settings etc, didn't do ...

Specular issue!

Hey guys, I have a glass bottle in my project that is giving off a horrible effect from the specular highlights and I can't seem to fix it.

I've got an Octane Daylight Rig as my main sound of light in the scene. The bottle is a default specular with some sub surface scattering applied to it.

I ...

Upgrading Ram

Hey guys, looking at upgrading my setup. Been using C4D + Octane render as my base for several years now and I noticed I haven't updated my Ram for a while now.

I'm currently running 2133 MHz ram DD4. I was curious if upgrading to something like 6400MHz DDR5 will have much of an inpact on my ...

Re: non-pbr materials

Hey guys, I bought a model off turbosquid recently and the material setup is really odd. It's not PBR which has been my workflow for years and I've never seen anything like it. I assume its either Blender / Unity based but unsure.

In the textures folder there are random super colourful materials ...

DOF Alpha edge problem

Hey everyone, I've seen similar issues posted in the forum before, but never with any results that work.

I'm having a problem with my VDB pass and compositing in After Effects. The shot starts off out of focus (using the DOF in camera) and then comes into focus later. But at the start the

Out-of-Core + RTX

Hey guys, spoke to a few artists at the studio but no one seems to have a proper answer.

Came across this text in the resource management page on OTOY:

"RTX can’t be enabled when using OOC, so ouch."

Toon directional light?

Hey guys, decided to give the toon shader a go for the first time in a few years. everything seems alright except the fact that every tutorial I've watched, uses the 'toon directional light' to light the scene. I'm running the latest build in Octane in Cinema 4D and that doesn't exist. I typed in ...
