Started with Octane a few weeks ago and finally found some time to get used to the shadersystem.

Just a few weeks??? Man, am I slow!

Very nice work. I'm still getting the hang of it. Can you help by showing how you applied the graphics/type on top of the metal? I've been looking for an example /visual of this with nodes.
Thanks.

Thanks man

I'm using the C4D version of Octane so I'm not working with nodes in that way - I can screenshot the node-tree anyways if that helps. The workflow is pretty easy, I did the modeling of it and then unwrapped the top element. I then applied the graphics in Photoshop and applied the texture in the Diffuse and the Bump channel of the shader. To finish it I made a second shader with a stretched noise effect in the Bump channel to create this "brushed" metal look and combined both in a mix material.
Hope that helps
