I wanted to try the displacement feature of octane.

Image


compare picture (with and without displacement):
http://polderanimation.com/octanePost/o ... is.v02.jpg

Base model is around 40k poly's.
I used 5 x 780 ti's for rendering, PT, 256 samples, used the standard daylight environment.
I did some Photoshop tweaking on the picture that's why i included a compare picture.

Cheers,
Sander

Hi Sander,
It's an interesting one. The displacement does a lot but I am wondering if, from a purely artistic point of view, the 'un-displaced' one is not perhaps preferable (maybe with slightly less specular). The use of colour and graphics of the grass, as well as the elephant's proportion makes for a more stylized image which, to me, your 10sec image represents more closely. I guess it's a case of 'should we just because we could...'. Just my 2 cents.

I am also curious as to what this is for since the colour scheme and proportions is 'happy' but mr. elephant is pretty angry.

Best,
Seeker

Thnx for the comment. First off, I normally do more stylised low poly 3d work (http://polderanimation.com/blik.htm).
I never do sculpts, so this was just a 2 day test to learn how to sculpt, just for fun. So there wasn't a concept or idea to begin with, I just went along and make something. So I find it very funny that the first time I do a high poly sculpt the comment is, the low poly version is better =). I agree that the colours and the evilness of the elephant do not match very well.
Cheers

Ah, I see. I like the work on your site.

Here's 1 min in PS. Not a bad model at all. Just the colours.

Best,
