It is hard not to be intimidated by the shots up here so far. You all rock it. I am hoping to have my submission up here later this weekend if I can get blender to stop crash when testing a render, and then octane to stop crashing on import. I know it has a lot to do with my mesh, so I haven't written any bug reports. Anyway, I am excited about all of this. It is amazing what people have created with a very limited amount of options. Really speaks to the power of Octane.

Updated using Octane8000 which seems a little more stable when I adjust materials and allowed me to get a nickel finish on the Desert Eagle. Also change to a different camera response "Porta 160NCCD." Not completely happy with the gold plated parts but its a start.

A different angle with DOF.

Hi, here is my render for competition.

Demo Octane:
The area in dark glass was caused for something like caustics... i think.
With my card don't have much more to do.

Ps.: I obtained this render in 3 hours, in another renderer it took 24.5 hours to make this same quality.

Nice picture Ankh.pd
Here's what I found a little bit strange...
The liquid look like olive oil :lol: try something looking more like tea, or put hot water and add some smoke due to the heat.
The HDRI you are using with those area-like lights is kinda messy, you dont get perfect reflections, its splotchy.
You get also strange things happening in the teapot handle reflections, maybe try a blurred material instead for the handle.
Also maybe you can try a brushed metal teapot :shock: that would be cool

Good picture :)

Thanx Sam, ;)

I'm going rebuild the scene.
Is there a way to solve the problem with the cup (firefly)?
Once again, thanks man.

Well since I can't do the competition yet with my 8600M GT (because its... so... slow :|)
I like to make critics :lol:

The fireflies are because of the MLT not implemented yet, its not a bug (fireflies are bugs I think :mrgreen:)

Good luck !

Man there is some extremely nice posts so far. FrankH if you didn't tell me that was a 3D render I would think that they were real souvenirs. Did you use texture maps for the gold parts or was that all assigned using the Octane materials?

Ankh.pd if you just added a touch of a green cast to the liquid it would look like green tea. Love the reflections.
