Thanks Ray! The CG short is actually based on Half-Life 2!
The mesh in Octane is the low-poly one, so is just over 55k polys (basically a modern game model resolution), but the final movie will not be in real-time, it will be pre-rendered, but it won't be rendered in Octane, my friend doesn't use it unfortunately...

Btw, I'm diying to show you the stuff I've been rendering at work with Octane, but I can't!

I looks superb. A very good showcase of Octane being used to render a ZBrush created model.

Top Row Stuff - wait, wrong forum

Nice job, love the creature you created, looks like a blend between a roach, ant, locust, and worm. Very cool. And creepy.

Can you show the materials for it in Octane and how you made them a bit? I'm looking to do some creature stuff in the future so it will be helpful to see how to do something like this in Octane.

Yes. Perfect texturing as always.

Wow!! this is ugly beautiful!!! love the saliva and the textures.

what kind of hardware do you have Rikk? did you paint the textures in Zbrush?

Thank you all for the kind comments!

The creature uses my secret uber-tweaked-sss material... I can show it to you, but then I will have to kill you!

Nothing special, I have a GTX680 4GB, i7, 16 BG Ram... Pretty standard stuff. Yes, the textures are all hand-painted in zBrush.

Fantastic!

I just got a question tough, what is marmoset toolbag, is it a render engine as octane? or a tool in your pipeline to support octane of some sort? sorry for the stupid question btw.

Thank you! Marmoset is a real-time DX11 viewer, is largely used by artists working in the game industry (like I do).

That is nice polished work! Well done. Can I ask how you achieved the saliva/slime? Close up of the mesh maybe?
Really clean work. Congratulations.
