January: Octane License Competition *CLOSED*

[WiKKiDWidgets]

3rd Entry: Minotaurs Head

This is part of a much larger scene based on the Classic Battle between Theseus and the Minotaur in the Labrynth. I am in the process of creating the Textures and sculpting but ran this through Octane. I Liked it so much I made it my Desktops Background. When I get the whole scene finished I'll post it to the Gallery. (or maybe the next Contest... (hint hint ))

Spec's: 130481 Tri's
Approx. 12 minutes to render.

Pedrojafet If you want to that would be awesome, I have been known in the past to translate tutorials from one application to another.

@pedrojafet : Yes, I became an Octane addict in one week

I'd really like to play with it one more day, but I have to travel for 3 days for business.
I should come back on the forum on thursday evening or friday.

Enjoy the last day of the competition ! I've seen very nice things here !

Hallo everybody

I simply fell in love in Octane

I did not have time to do everything that wanted, but a hope dies the last.
because for 2009 I earned 500 dollars, to purchase Octane there will not be possibility, in Ukraine financial crisis until now and work is not almost present.

Here is an old scene I modelled in Blender. It is strang that I could not get this scene working in 0.81a, but the older 0.8a worked fine, which this render is from. No post, except for firefly removal in HotPixels (Hotpixels runs great under WINE linux users!).
