This topic interested me because I too want to make specialized maps for certain things. In particular, I have heard of people who use things called "smudge","dirt" and "scratch" maps,but I have no idea what they're talking about, considering those are just nicknames that really represent the use of ...

Yeah the texture on the grip looks good! It definitely does the trick. It's JUST noticable, which is perfect. I think it would look a bit fake if you make the bump/normal map any more extreme. Good job!

This looks really good! As of right now the only thing I can really think of that you might want to do is add a feint noise to the rubber grip; sometimes those grips are a soft rubber with an almost cloth-like feel to them. I realize alot of those types of pens DO just have a slick rubber grip to ...

I too am curious about this! This sounds alot like the workflow that the person I am interning for talks alot about. He uses Maya+Vray,2.2 gamme srgb etc etc.....and gets really good quality images. In octane however, when I render the same scene,even with linear/off camera filter and 2.2 gamma my ...

Alright so I have a decent amount of this done, but I am now to the point where I need to start buffing out the small details to really make this look real. In particular, I was wondering how do you add realistic fingerprints to something? I tried earlier by using an image for my "reflection", but I ...

This is AWESOME!! Thank you so much! All this time I thought I had the newest version of the script, and then I went to the first page of the script thread and realized you have made quite a few updates since the version I had,lol. Thank you!

blender 2.56a (the one from blender.org,not anything from graphicall), and .v075 octane script

sigh..unfortunately I am not versed in python at ALL. But I suppose I could snoop around and see what I can figure out. When you say engine.py, are you referring to the file called "octane.py"? Because I do not see an actual .py file anywhere that is actually labeled "engine.py", unless maybe I am ...

In Octane, the field-of-view is always the horizontal field-of-view. I guess, in Blender it's the field-of-view of the longer axis.

It looks like you always guess well at first shot ;) . Applying simple arithmetics on the fov seems to properly do the job now.

Thanks for the advice, it'll be ...

hm,I can't seem to get any of the exporting scripts to work. In 2.54 if I try to open the script in the text editor and run script, or if I try to "install add-on" and select the python script file nothing happens. In 2.49 (which I would rather NOT use) it DOES work, but when I try to export it says ...
