I use octane for cinema4d and modo already, but i'm debating on whether to get the daz plugin. daz already has great skin tex plugins (wet skin textures etc.) for iray but i'm wondering if it possible to translate all that to octane?
and how much better/faster is octane at rendering animations compared to vray, vray seems to have teh speed advantage in terms of accessibility and how it's fully integrated with daz, octane im guessing has zero support for the built int daz materials...
can anyone share their experience on this? i'm only asking cuz i suffered tremondously trying to texture realistic skin in cinema 4d with octane, there is literally no good guides on ultra realistic skin texturing for c4d, but with iray everything was already built in, i could get any kind of skin texture i want with a few plugins. I guess what i'm asking is, if i get octane for daz3d, will i still have to mess a shitton with the node editor to get iray skin texture results? cuz otherwise i would might as well just export my daz model into c4d and continue messing with octane nodes in there rather than get the daz version and suffer thru the same exact thing.
