I finished my first Octane project at the end of last month. I worked on this project for more then a month and then only had 2 days for rendering.
I had to use Direct lighting as it saved me large amounts of time and the computer I was using at the time only had 786mb on the graphics cards so it nearly became impossible to render large scenes. I really cut up the scenes and had to edit the models (I created all the furniture for this project because the Interior Designer is extremely specific) it almost felt as if I was working on models that would be used for a game.
There were many challenges with this project but I am happy with the end result even though I couldn't use path tracing.
The final renders were 4k for printing A2 size for the presentation. With direct lighting it took a little over an hour to get the result, I could have left it on for longer but I worked out that I just didn't have enough time, extremely stressful time.
I had to break up the Renders into more then one Post as I was having problems uploading more then 4 images into it.
If you have any questions, comments or crits please feel free to ask, this project is done and dusted and it is time to work on some more projects having learnt so much on this first project.
