Giving up on octane

[AndyM1969]

Remember to check that your LW color space (from LW Layout properties) is set to "linear".

Slowly getting there now ristoraven, thanks for all the tips and help

Dropped Octane because he couldn't get a misty forest what a damn joke! like many already said consider doing all of those things in post or with the native render.

I remember when I first came across Octane, I had to choose between the blue pill of not using it, waking up in my bed believing whatever I wanted to, or the red pill of using it, and seeing how deep the rabbit hole went.
After a couple years now, you know what I keep asking myself?...
It's the same question...
"Why didn't I choose the blue pill..."

Hahaha I almost create a rip in the fabric of space by how fast I choked with my red pill

Well after reading I even learned a ton...

Cool


I like what every body agreed on you just have to fiddle and fiddle and fiddle with it to get good results

I love the new GTX-1080 wow awesome card along side the Titan results are really fast now.

I know I'm late to this party, but something that can have a dramatic effect on any of the 'medium' nodes is the scale of your scene. I have perfect looking materials, that if I stick on an object, or in a scene, that is at a different scale/size, it messes it up complete. One of my criticisms is that the medium nodes 'scale' parameter, doesn't seem to have any real world comparison. As far as I can see, it's tweak it till it looks right. Am I missing something?

[AndyM1969]

Glad you brought that up Gordon and the answer is you're right mate. I still haven't gotten it to look the way I want and I have tweaked scales in my scenes from the massive down to the minuscule. To be honest it's bonkers that something so obviously real world cannot be replicated with a migraine!

[gordonrobb]

What I more meant is that if someone sends you a node setup for the medium node, and you can't get it to work in your scene, it could be bexause of a mismatch of scale.
