Hello Octane Forum,
I just bought octane and I had a blast doing my first project with it. I modeled this antique camera in Modo and rendered it with octane for Cinema 4D. This was mainly a personal project to improve on modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering. I actually shaded it with vray a while back but couldn't make a motion picture out of it because of long render times. Loving Octane!

Thank you all very much!

I used two Titans to render everything.
You are the deveoloper of the Cinema 4D Plugin, right? I watched all of your videos on vimeo. I think you did a really great job, the plugin runs very stable for a beta version. I kind of have a wishlist for features that the plugin need but i think that needs to be added in the Octane SDK and not by you. Your Node Editor looks awesome! So thanks for your hard work!
Here is a before and after compositing screenshot:

Thanks a lot! You helped me to get the right computer for octane, you were very helpful!
Yes indeed, it is all done in After Effects. I exported the 3D Camera Data with the compositing file from Cinema 4D into After Effects. So I had all of my 19 animated Cameras neatly baked and ready to go. The Particles were done with Trapcode Particular and I used Optical Flares for the "atmospheric lighting", it was hard though to make a good flare that wasn't already used in Star Trek!Did you add the flare in compositing? Which gpu was used for rendering?

Hey Daniel.
Fantastic work, the modeling, texturing and lighting are really great. I love the mood that it has.
Can you tell me please what render time were you having while render this in vray and in what hardware?
