Finally! I am able to publish our first work using Octane, for an architectural competition.

Architecture: João Luís Carrilho da Graça - project for the competition "Requalification du secteur Désiré Colombe" Nantes, France.
Images by: Filipe Alves and Luca Martinucci - (http://www.1825.in)

Unfortunately we got only the 2nd prize.
But it was a great experience starting to work with Octane Render which proved to be the best tool.

Best regards
Filipe Alves

Lovely images Manalokos,

which was the render kernel?, and what tipe of illumination did you used?.
I't only my opinion, but I think that the wet/water effect should be "revisited" (no transition between the wet areas and the dry ones and maybe the bump is too strenght), but if this is the first job with Octane.....it's ceratinly a good job! ;)

Cheers, Paolo

Agreed, very nice renders and if it's your first ones, it's even more impressive!
But about the water effect, maybe you should decrease the gamma of your specular/roughness map to give a smoother transition.
Nice work again!

Hello,

Yes, I agree, but these images were made in May 2012, so there were some issues with the roughness scale that were harder to tackle, and of course I was just learning to use the software. :)

Thank you for the nice comments. I hope to have the opportunity to post some more images, but I have to wait for the contest results.

Best regards
Filipe

Nice work. I like much the last two images, specially the concert hall.

Looking great, the last two are the best in my oppinion too.
Can you tell us a little bit more about the technical aspect (render times, hardware)

And did you had to do lots of changes? Geometry, materials, etc
If so, how was the workflow with octane?

Hello Rob,

Yes we had to make some changes in geometry, the most time consuming were the trees, and there was no instancing option back then.

Now we use instanced foliage which makes our work more versatile and scenes much lighter. For this we have to create our own trees specially designed for octane, that have the advantage to have the leaves totally customizable and interactive.

The grass was created with particle generator, but was exported as geometry.

Materials and lighting were changed very easily and interactively.

I don't remember exactly the render times, but we used a GTX 560 with 448 cores, and a GTX 580, for 10 hours in each render with PMC.

Thanks
Best regards
Filipe
