Hi everyone!


This is my first post, as I only started using Octane a couple of weeks ago.

First of all, congratulations to the Refractive Software team, you're doing a great job!!!
I just can't use any other renderer now!!!


Below is my first picture with Octane.
I know that in terms of quality and skills I'm really far behind most of what has been posted so far, but I thought I'd give it a (shy) try...

The original "model" is a picture in a home-design magazine that I tried to model in 3D.

- Modelled in Sketchup
- Then exported as "obj" into Blender" (UV mapping is much easier in Blender)
- Then re-exported as "obj"
- Rendered in Octane
- Some post-production in Photoshop

Hope you like it, and of course: please comment !!!

See ya everyone!

Yes indeed !!! In fact I'm already addicted, it's too late.... !

needs some waves in the water

Yes I also thought so, but creating waves in Sketchup is a bit tricky, and making them with Blender after importing from Sketchup would have meant totally re-working the mesh of the pool...

Thanks for your comments!


Oh, by the way: is it normal that I can't get normal displacement ?

Use procedural inside Octane instead making them by hand.
