Hello everyone,
this is my first personal project using Octane. The goal was to recreate an archeological artifact in CG: a sword from the viking age. I wanted it to be photorealistic, but I have to say that at some point it shifted to a "gamy-looking" work.
I enjoyed very much using Octane for this work, I'm a big fan of this fantastic software :D

Is this rust/dirt to the right made with a use of a normal map?

Awesome work.

Wonderful work!!
Im pretty sure you are using a very dense mesh with diplacement? Looks to good to be a normal map.

Thank you very much, I appreciate.

No displacement was used (I hope this feature will be added Octane in the near future!), no high-res mesh, just 4K resolution bump maps, painted in MARI. In fact bump maps in Octane here seem to work quite well!
