Im very glad that Octane renderer finally produced, because with its speed I could obtain results almost in a moment. Now it is able to use rapid physical-correct render not even in hobby projects and also in real job, where speed is very important as well as quality.

Will post new works later.

Question:

Are we allowed to use freely released models?

Bah!!

lol apparently not.

my question is tho, are we going to be judged moreso on modelling ability, or the quality of renders? or both. i'm curious as to what I should devote more time to.

Oh, I don't make the rules of course, I just find it facetious That somebody can download a nice pre-modeled and textured model, run it through Octane and walk away with a lifetime Octane license. hehe

It's going to be hard enough competing against the ZBrush guru's.

Yes, please, don't post your wip here, create one single entry and update it with the new images. You should be able to delete the image and to replace it by a new one, I hope I'm not wrong by saying that.

One man propose one picture on participating in a competition or a few ?

If you are asking if you can submit more than one image, then the answer is yes.

Hi Octaners,
Rules:
You may produce and publish as many submissions as you want.
The submitted rendering must be made exclusively with Octane Render.
You must use the current Demo version which is publically available on our site.
Submitted images must have a minimum resolution of 1024 px wide and 512 px high,
but we will prefer images at higher resolutions.

Hello, this is my first post on Octane forum and first of all I would like to thank developers of creating this great software Hope You would continue without any bigger problems, yet results are great even at this stage of development.

I would like to make my entry in competition. Well it all started pretty simple - I just wanted test octane with something bigger and heavier than test scenes uploaded with demo version, so I grabbed one of my old projects, and started testing Well, the results can be seen below. Images show concept of eco-robot being fueled with water gathered form leaves.

These are 100% renders with no post production (except the last (01) image, where I've increased brightness a bit).
All modeled, mapped and textured in blender 2.49

My workstation config is: core i7 920, 4.00Ghz / 12gb ram / Evga GTX 275 overclocked to 285 parameters

I'll post a workflow image in the evening. I'm planning to do maybe some more renders later.

Hope You like it

Whoooaah... You should probably put your name and render info on those, I doubt they won't end up in the gallery.

Absolutely stunning.

yeah, some credits and specs text placed on the images with a 2d image editor would be cool.
i would'nt mind placing these in the gallery already.
