Great, thank you this is exactly what I wanted

Hi Guys,

i want to make several pieces of one single texture shiny and others diffuse. How can i achieve this using just one texture?
I think a good way is to use material mix but i don't know how to show to octane which parts he has to make glossy.

E.g. take a look at the simple texture i ...

Awesome. Love the shading. Did you got the models together with materials (already uv unwrapped) or did you shade it by yourself?

what is this thing? Sorry besides that this bike is ugly it's not rendered well. The shading looks really fake.

Thank you guys. So wouldn't you recommend to use PMC or pathtracing for a render like this? I used pmc because
put over the screen a plane with a glass shader for the reflection.

The screen is just a texture. You're right LCD artifacts would make it look much better but i don't know how to ...

Here's my first try of modeling and rendering some electric stuff. Rendered with pmc on my crappy GTS 450 with a little bit

Thank you guys i will try it

Merry Christmas guys :)

I have a problem with a scene I created. Unfortunately i cannot understand what the console wants
to explain. Do you guys know what the problem is? The curious is that it worked quite fine till now. I just moved some of the
elements in my scene in a different position ...
