New Year's open themed still image competition (CLOSED)

[GDRS]

To mlody47

Clients allways want to change some tiny things allways.

You just cant render every one or two hours again and again.

So many years now we do the changes in an image editor program, put the files with opacity inside the 3d programs and render.

Its a life saving technique.

No hard feelings but if you still believe that we did post work besides the rules we will remove the entry.

No hard feelings again.

Like this

From image editor to 3d program and render

And the maps

Thats all...

Basically everything is renderer from the render program.

Thanks for your explanation GDRS, nice technique.

There was an entry of Madcoo. He used 1 thing from photoshop which wasnt allowed - he asked about it the judges here, and He get the permision for it - but... ...only if he put an Octane render image without post... ...this is fair. I think

That's right, and this is totally fair indeed.

(What follows is not a criticism, judgement on anyone here, or anything like this)
I take this competition as a way to show evereybody out there what is possible with Octane itself.
IMHO, this is not an infographists (I hope this is the right English term ) competition, it's more about something like "How far can you push Octane?" and "How can we show Octane at its best ?"

Once again, I'm wishing good luck to everyone, and whoever may win I'm sure it will be well-deserved.
Cheers Octanees !

Ofcourse I dont want You to remove your work , even if it sound like that, and even that I know its photoshoped ( im not the best in English )

But still... think of what You are writing ...

Clients allways want to change some tiny things allways.
You just cant render every one or two hours again and again.

Here You are telling, that You dont want to render with every change of client.

So many years now we do the changes in an image editor program, put the files with opacity inside the 3d programs and render.
Its a life saving technique.

And here You are saying that You render every change of client....
It was NEVER a lifesaving technique... ...Photoshoping was

anyway no hard feeling and good luck

Hi, my name is Dani.

The model is something I have been working for on and off for a few months and have not yet completed. Octane reports 1,876,703 triangles. My computer stats are Ubuntu 10.10, Q6600 2.4 GHZ 4-core, 8800 GT and GTX 460 2GB, 3GB RAM.

I absolutely love steampunk, and this is my first attempt at the genre. The model here is a lovingly restored Gargleblaster, currently on display in the Department of Vermin Removal Devices of the Inter-Galactic Museum of Interesting Things. The case is constructed out Venusian Hornswaggle Boxwood.

I'm not really sure which angle is best, and Octane is proving to be frustrating what with it's wildly unpredictable file handling, which is a great shame. It really rocks in principle - in practice it is not very practical yet. Nonetheless I'm hanging in there, hoping the team pull it off. There's a lot to learn still, which is why the textures are not quite there yet and the glass is too reflective.

love steampunk!

Few days left on that challenge, huihuihui hurry everone!
I also decided to spend some more time on my entry from page 8, as the intention was to tell more kind a story.

5000 x 2500 pixel render, pathtraced, cooked for 3 hours.
2,500,000 Polygons and 24 textures took 1860 MB of VRAM.

Trees from Dosch and Plants from evermotion.

some of that pictures are a heavy load, slightly "downscaled" to 4K resolution jpg:

Hi, my name is Matej and I'm officially posting my scifi-xmas-tree (if any of you has any critics, please post them in the wip thread)

< Image-spec: resolution 1500x2100, polycount 1.1 mio
< Render-spec: Octane beta 2.3v5, pathtracing (12 depth), reached 2200 samples / px in 2h 21min on GTX 460
< Postpro: de-noising & tad of glow
< Motivation: Christmas time a little different, probably in the future where machines enslaved humanity, but they still allow to celebrate the birthday of some guy, to give false hope of salvation. Powered by two Sp-Tn* human batteries.
< Legal: models & textures created by me (images for textures are from various free sites), HDRI for IBL from hdrlabs.com
