This is the very first image of my current project "Blenderton Hotel".
Modelled in Blender, rendered in Octane, post prod (rain) in Photoshop Elements.
Currently, the scene weight in Octane is 1607MB ! Exporting in obj from Blender 2.49b takes around 3 minutes, and loading in Octane around 8 minutes...
As I like very much English cars as well as architectural styles, I started by modelling four very detailed cars : Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II 1959, Rolls Royce Phantom V 1960 and 1963 (The model in foreground is a model 1966, which is no more than a 1963 with chrome separations on topof the front lights), and a Bentley S2 1962,derivated from the Silver Cloud II.
I will show them better later when I will have added more buildings to allow more camera angles.
I wanted to build a very typical londonian scene in front of a Luxurious hotel,and I started the set with the street lights, the K6 phone boothe, and the Victorian letter box, and finally the hotel.
I'd want to model also a policeman to put in background, a black taxi, and a red bus.
...And maybe a doorman in purple/red and gold suit.
With some luck, more images coming soon !

The third image on the page is the original Octane render without any post prod.

I have updated the image with some glow around the two lanterns on the left.
I wonder :the loading requires huge RAM amount, and I don't know if the 8GB on my motherboard will allow to manage the full 3GB of VRAM...
Each object is detailed and can be seen in close up, even the "Spirit of Ecstasy"(The Flying Lady) on front of the Rolls Royce. I modelled 3 versions of this statue, High/Medium/Low Poly, but currently, the high version is loaded on each Rolls royce car. Each stone pillar is High poly and subsurfaced... same for the iron fences... When Octane will support instances, I will be able to save hundreds of MB !
Stay tunned
