Two new renders.

The environment light and backplane clouds were built in Terragen. Model built in Creo and textured in C4D. Octane Standalone 3.08.

CAUTION: These renders did not stay in Vegas! :0

Hi again.

I was wondering if there is a way to get more translucency in materials that are backlit? If I move the roughness slider all the way to the right, I reach a point that is not as "foggy" as I would like it. In fact, I wish I could push the effect to twice as much.

I think I see what happened, maybe. In C4D, you can select only visible polys on the surfaces facing you, or select everything underneath as well. There are two backlit pieces of plexi in the sign, and those are about .5" thick. One in back and the other in front. When I sampled the front, I ...

Hello.

I am trying to figure out what is happening with this setup (please see attached image). The material is specular and the front and back parts of the sign are distinct from one another in the UV space. Yet, while the front of the sign looks fine, the front is projecting onto the back for ...

I had a demo of something like this in my Octane Tuts but had completely forgotten about it. But it only allows for multiplying TEXTURES, not materials. And I do not see how to multiply an image TEXTURE over a background MATERIAL.

Howdie.

I am not able to figure out how to get a good Multiply texture. I have a chrome like surface, and I have a dirt texture I want to overlay over it. If I use Photoshop, white areas would be invisible for the overlay, and darker shades of gray would multiply with the layer beneath. But when I ...

This is pretty great! Will this be moved to a more visible location at some point?

You should suggest that.

That would be a Feature Request System Feature Request.

Hello.

Are there any OSL anisotropy shaders in the LiveDB textures? I notice that in 3.08, there are no "plug-and-play" anisotropy settings.

Oh I forgot about HDR Light Studio! Neber got a chance to play with it.
Sure would be nice if a reflection vector could get be native on Octane. Would simplify placement of light sources A LOT.

Not sure why this has never been implemented before in a 3D program, but looks pretty straight forward. It would be great to be able to look at a mesh and say, "I want a bright highlight to appear right here." So you move the mouse to that spot, right-click "Reflection Vector", and Octane calculates ...
