Hey everybody,
This is my first post and first WIP using Octane Render. My buddy Nick was kind enough to shoot over his Johnny 5 Maya model. I brought it into Octane and had a blast creating the materials, playing with HDR image lighting and messing with the camera tools. I do photography and Octane makes so much sense to me. I did this on my 3 year old Macbook Pro before the unibody design. I'm planning on purchasing this amazing renderer, but I'm thinking of building a PC to utilize a better GPU - dual GTX 470 or a single GTX 480.
This might be the wrong place to ask this, but if I buy a license can I transfer it to a new machine?
Anyways, let me know what you guys think. First, one is a little dark, but I wanted to get the red LED lights glowing. I'm not sure how to do that in Octane. I also forgot to smooth the geometry on the eyes. Renders aren't super clean, but my old MBP with a GeForce 8600M GT was working hard to get renders out. Still, it's pretty acceptable, but I'd love to see this renderer fly on a fast PC rig.
very much .
