Hello everyone!
It's my probably first post in this forum.
Octane for C4D.
It's PT – 2048. 1920x1080 around 8 min. on GTX 760.
I'm not quite satisfied how sugar looks like. So if anyone had experience of rendering of sugar, it would be great to see your method. I used diffuse white material with noise in emission channel.
P.S. Sorry for my terrible english. :oops:

did you try SSS for the sugar? I'd think a specular materils with a displacement map and SSS would work for the sugar

itsallgoode9, thanks for advice!
I tried SSS, but i thinks looks not right, looks more like bubble gum or paste. (Maybe i do something wrong, but i try more)
I forgot to write, in this scene i used displacement with bump.

Have you tried playing with the roughness value on diffuse material.

Sugar is basically not just a cube. It's a lot of tiny grainy particles fused together. Image

Although you need not model every single grain, you might be better off with a fine grain displacement map or at the very least some bump. Without it your sugar will never look right. Remember to check reference!

yeah i'd definitely revisit that. it may be a bitch to get a clean render with all of that SSS though.

Sportler, thanks for reference picture!
Unfortunately Octane not have baking texture function, it would then be very useful in this case.
But I think that will soon find a solution!
